Lewandowski equals Heynckes' record of scoring in 11 consecutive home matches Football - Bundesliga The record had stood since 1972/73

With his goal against Schalke on Saturday, Robert Lewandowski has matched the record set by Jupp Heynckes for scoring a goal in 11 successive home matches.

Heynckes, now the Polish forward's coach at Bayern Munich, set the record in the 1972/73 season, when he scored in the first 11 home matches of Borussia Monchengladbach's campaign, a record that has gone unchallenged ever since.

Lewandowski has been in fantastic form of late and he has scored 19 goals in the Bundesliga this far, in addition to six in the Champions League.

He has scored in every single home league game, with the list of teams to fall foul of the former Lech Poznan goalscorer including Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and now Schalke.

The only teams to have visited the Allianz Arena and kept the 29-year-old quiet have been Celtic in the Champions League and Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup.
