Five talking points in the Bundesliga

Berlin (AFP) – Robert Lewandowski got a ticking off, RB Leipzig want to keep English talent Ademola Lookman and Schalke celebrate their runners-up status.

Here are five talking points from the weekend’s Bundesliga action:

Heynckes’ ticking off

Lewandowski netted his 150th competitive goal in 193 games for champions Bayern Munich in Saturday’s 3-1 win at Cologne — but was reprimanded for his attitude.

After hitting his 29th league goal this season, the hot-shot striker was unhappy at being substituted for Sandro Wagner on 77 minutes, ignoring Heynckes as he trudged off.

“The Bayern coach decides the substitutions and every player has to hold to that,” said Heynckes.

“I’m the boss — and nobody else.”

Lewandowski has nearly twice as many goals as his nearest rival in the quest to be the Bundesliga’s top-scorer this season.

His 29 league goals makes him Europe’s third best goal-scorer behind Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, who has 33, and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah with 31.

Lookman boosts Leipzig hopes

Ademola Lookman, who is on loan from Everton until June, boosted his chances of staying at RB Leipzig with two goals in a 4-1 drubbing of relegation-threatened Wolfsburg.

Starting as an attacking midfielder, the 20-year-old Englishman converted a cross, then banged home RB’s second after pouncing on a mistake.
