Serge Gnabry scored three goals and provided two assists in Stuttgart. Five scorer points or more in one game – that has been achieved by several players this century. The overview.
Nine other Bayern players are on the list, Robert Lewandowski (3) and Arjen Robben (2) even appear several times. With Claudio Pizarro, a Munich player managed to break the six scorer point barrier (four goals and two assists in the 9:2 win against HSV in March 2013).
Only two other players managed that after the turn of the millennium: Stuttgart’s Ioan Viorel Ganea scored three goals against Kaiserslautern in February 2001, and he set up three goals in Adhemar’s 6-0 win. Timo Werner’s gala against Mainz in November 2019 is also unforgettable (three goals and three assists in an 8-0 win over Mainz).
Mesut Özil also features in the list, with the ex-Bremer living up to his reputation as a provider rather than a goalscorer (one goal and four assists in a 6-0 win at Freiburg in November 2009).
Also in the list: Bart Goor. The Belgian scored 13 goals in 87 Bundesliga games, four of which he scored in Hertha’s 6-0 win over HSV in March 2002, plus an assist to Michael Preetz for a 1-0 lead.
