Jadon Sancho became the youngest Englishman to score a Bundesliga goal and the first for Borussia Dortmund when he opened the scoring against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.

The 18-year-old capitalised on a slip from Leverkusen defender Benjamin Henrichs as he took on a pass from Christian Pulisic to fire his side to a half-time lead.

England Under 19 international joined Dortmund from Manchester City at the end of August and became the first Englishman to play for them when he made his debut in a cameo against Eintracht Frankfurt in October.

Sancho has made eight more appearances for the club and made his fourth start against Leverkusen, but has been had his playing time restricted by injury.
