Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski hopes his first goal at the Allianz Arena will open the floodgates for the rest of the season.
The 26-year-old Poland international, who moved to Bayern from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, netted the second goal in the 4-0 rout of Paderborn on Tuesday night.
Lewandowski, who fired 103 goals in 187 appearances for Dortmund, scored away at Schalke in August and insists he had no fears over a potential goal drought in front of the club's home support.
"I just had to stay calm. I knew it would happen," Lewandowski told Goal.
"It was my first home goal for Bayern Munich and it was a good moment for me. I hope this becomes usual now and I am able to score many goals and we can win every match."
Bayern were held to a 0-0 draw at Hamburg at the weekend but Arjen Robben returned to the team against Paderborn to bolster Pep Guardiola's attack.
With injury concerns easing and the goals beginning to flow, Lewandowski believes the club are hitting their stride ahead of their forthcoming fixtures and does not share his coach's concern over the number of matches played within a week.
"Sometimes, when many attacking players are injured it is difficult on the pitch," the former Lech Poznan striker said. "The key is to always play full throttle, no matter who plays.
"I think we're in good shape and the important games will come now. Playing every three days is good news for me. I would rather play three times a week, than only once. Hopefully we'll be successful in the Bundesliga and Champions League."
Bundesliga champions Bayern face Koln on Saturday and then travel to CSKA Moscow for a Champions League group game on Tuesday.
