Robert Lewandowski scored his 50th and 51st goals of the season as Bayern Munich lifted their 20th DFB-Pokal Cup after comfortably beating Bayer Leverkusen 4-2.

Hansi Flich’s side dominated the first half, helped by Leverkusen’s sluggishness off the ball, and took the lead courtesy of a stunning free-kick from veteran David Alaba.

Bosz brought on Kevin Volland and Kerem Demirbay at the break but it failed to stop the tide with Lewandowski scoring the Bundesliga champions’ third after a long-range volley which went in after a howler from Lukas Hradecky.
