Coutinho scores three and sets up two more in big Bayern win
The Brazilian produced his best performance yet while on loan in Bavaria
Philippe Coutinho starred as Bayern Munich came from behind on Saturday to hammer Werder Bremen 6-1 at the Allianz Arena.
The visitors took a surprise lead through Milot Rashica in the 24th minute before Coutinho, on loan at the German champions from Barcelona, took centre stage.
The Brazilian scored a stunning hat-trick and set up two more as Bayern moved up to fourth in the Bundesliga.
Coutinho levelled in the 42nd minute before the red-got Robert Lewandowski edged Hansi Flick's side into the lead in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time.
With the floodgates opened, Coutinho added a third before quickfire Lewandowski and Thomas Muller goals made it 5-1.
The rout was completed in the 78th minute when Coutinho completed his treble as he fights for a future at Bayern, who have an option to sign him permanently from Barça in the summer.
