Reus lifts Dortmund
Bayern Munich claimed the biggest Bundesliga win for 30 years to warm up for their Champions League away match to Shakhtar Donetsk with Saturday's 8-0 thrashing of Hamburg.
Stars Arjen Robben, Thomas Mueller and Mario Goetze all netted twice as Bayern ran riot at Munich's Allianz Arena before Tuesday's last-16, first-leg clash against Shakhtar in Lviv.
Just over two years after their 9-2 drubbing at Munich's Allianz Arena, Hamburg were again made to suffer having also been drubbed 3-1, 5-0 and 6-0 on their last four visits to Bavaria.
Bayern stay eight points clear after racing into a 2-0 lead with 23 minutes gone as Mueller slotted a penalty, then his Germany team-mate Goetze added a second.
Arjen Robben danced through their defence, then curled home a 36th-minute goal to claim their third.
Hamburg's luck had clearly deserted them as replays showed Goetze had briefly touched the ball at the start of the move.
Robben grabbed his second after 47 minutes as the game became little more than a shooting session as the hosts ran riot.
Mueller then curled home a superb shot after a run by his captain Bastian Schweinsteiger on 55 minutes.
Lewandowski got on the scoresheet to make it 6-0 barely a minute later when Robben's pass found Mueller, who had all the time in the world to roll his pass to the Polish striker's feet.
France winger Franck Ribery came off the bench to add to Jaroslav Drobny's misery in the Hamburg goal on 69 minutes before Goetze claimed his side's eighth two minute from time.
Having gone 3-0 up away, Wolfsburg survived a spirited fight-back to win 5-4 at Bayer Leverkusen, for whom Son Heung-Min scored a hat-trick while Wolves' Bas Dost claimed four goals.
Leverkusen finished with ten men after Bosnia defender Emir Spahic was sent off late on for a second yellow card.
