Koln 1-3 Borussia Dortmund: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Jadon Sancho Inspires Late Comeback

Jadon Sancho grabbed a goal and an assist as Borussia Dortmund narrowly avoided a shock defeat against Koln.

The Englishman let loose a left-footed arrow into the bottom corner as the game neared its end to bring the Yellow and Blacks level after a first-half goal from Dominick Drexler. Achraf Hakimi nodded home with five minutes remaining, Paco Alcacer then adding undeserved gloss to the scoreline in stoppage-time after a square ball by Sancho.

Dortmund dominated possession in the early stages of the match, Axel Witsel dictating play and adding impetus to the midfield. However, it was their hosts who nearly took the lead on 15-minutes, but a devilish ball across the box was marginally out of reach for the stretching Anthony Modeste.
