LEVERKUSEN, Germany (AP) — Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry have scored twice apiece as Bayern Munich demolished Bayer Leverkusen 5-1 in the Bundesliga. Bayern is top with a one-point lead over Borussia Dortmund. Four goals in seven minutes left Leverkusen in tatters before halftime as Bayern made a statement win to underline why it’s chasing a 10th consecutive title. Lewandowski scored the first goals before Thomas Müller’s goal from a deflection and two for Gnabry. Patrik Schick scored a consolation for Leverkusen. Leading by five at halftime allowed Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann to start rotating the squad ahead of a Champions League game at Benfica on Wednesday.
