Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Bayern Munich went 11 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga with a hard-fought win at Hamburg.<\/p>\n
Lewandowski opened the scoring with a penalty after Thomas Muller was brought down by Hamburg goalkeeper Rene Adler.<\/p>\n
Hamburg levelled when Xabi Alonso put the ball past his own keeper trying to clear Aaron Hunt’s free-kick.<\/p>\n
Lewandowski ensured Bayern made a winning return after the winter break, deflecting Thomas Muller’s shot home.<\/p>\n
It took the Poland international striker’s league tally for the season to 17 goals, one behind Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.<\/p>\n
David Alaba also hit the post with a superb free-kick for the visitors.<\/p>\n
However, Bayern boss Pep Guardiola saw defender Jerome Boateng forced off with an injury in the first game after Germany’s winter break.<\/p>\n
It was their first competitive game since Guardiola announced last month he will leave at the end of the season to manage in England.<\/p>\n
