Cologne - Robert Lewandowski was the name on everybody's lips on Tuesday night as he broke record after record in FC Bayern München's 5-1 win over VfL Wolfsburg.

The history books were being rewritten over and over again as the Pole struck goal after goal, faster than the ink could dry.

The quickest-ever hat-trick was followed by the fastest four goals, and then the fastest five as Lewandowski became the first substitute ever to score more than three in a Bundesliga game. The reaction on social media was almost as quick, and bundesliga.com has rounded up some of the best Tweets...

Mats Hummels: "Hahahahahaha sorry, but I've never seen anything like that before in my life #Lewy"

MSV Duisburg: "Previous hat-trick record holder Michael 'Tornado' #Tönnies congratulates his successor: 'You deserve it!"'

Sebastian Rode:"What a way to turn a game - huge compliments also from me to Lewy! Wow!"
