Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Borussia Monchengladbach: Jadon Sancho scores in win

Last updated on .From the section European Footballcomments60

Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho has scored seven goals and set up another 11 this season

Jadon Sancho scored his seventh goal of the season as Borussia Dortmund reacted to their first Bundesliga loss of 2018-19 to beat Borussia Monchengladbach in their top-of-the-table game.

The 18-year-old England winger received a pass from Mario Gotze and scored a low drive from a tight angle which went in via the post.

Christoph Kramer equalised from close range in first-half injury time.

Sancho had a hand in the second goal before Marco Reus slid in Gotze's pass.

It was a 14th goal of the season for Reus and the first time since April 2013 Gotze set up two goals in one Bundesliga game.

Their 13-goal second top scorer Paco Alcacer, making only his fifth Bundesliga start, came off with an injury in the first half and was replaced by Gotze.

Dortmund, who lost at Fortuna Dusseldorf on Tuesday, are nine points clear of Gladbach and Bayern Munich, who visit Eintracht Frankfurt in their game in hand on Saturday (17:30 GMT).

    Hope he stays at Dortmund, great club, and good to see an Englishman succeeding there

    More of this please young English players plying their talents abroad .

  • Comment posted by CorneliusR, at 22:30 21 Dec 2018

    It's a good thing Sancho went to Dortmund. He's 18 and now the joint most expensive player in the Bundesliga. He clearly has a natural ability when it comes to his dribbling and skill moves. I can't believe how well he moves the ball. Some people may think he's hyped up like a lot of other young English talent, but this guy is different. I hope he becomes an England great.

  • Comment posted by Perspective, at 00:42 22 Dec 2018

    A shining example of not just the bravery of Sancho to go and play in Germany (where he was not guaranteed a place in the starting 11 when he arrived) but also the
    courage and foresight of Dortmund to see his potential and actually play him.

  • Comment posted by Red Prayer Mat, at 21:57 21 Dec 2018

    England will win a major tournament in the near future finally the younger generation are playing without fear willing to travel take risks and they are paying off

  • Comment posted by paul hirst, at 21:54 21 Dec 2018

    Its a shame a clearly talented young English lad needs to play overseas to highlight his abilities, as he was like many others not given the opportunities in his own country. Well done Sancho and keep it going.

    too much media on this Lad, let the boy play football

  • Comment posted by AFCDale, at 00:14 22 Dec 2018

    Laughable that you mention this kid in any City HYS & get hugely downvoted, Foden is either daft for believing he's going to be a regular there or already greedy for not caring about it.

    Are City fans so up Pep's backside they genuinely believe Sancho would have been better off starting Carabao Cup games + coming on as a PL sub at 3-0 rather than starting almost every week even vs top teams?

    Or maybe there are leagues outside of England that are much better at developing young players? The EPL has never been the best league for world young players coming through. La Liga or the Bundesliga have much better track record for developing world class young players. There's no point in staying in England if you could develop better elsewhere.

    Phenomenal talent. Favourite player to watch at the minute. I really hope he stays at least 2 more seasons in Germany and swerves the attentions of gossip mags, London nightclubs and fame hungry golddiggers and focus on his game and the kid is going to the very top of the game. Has everything and more technically but the decision making and execution is what sets him apart for me. Good luck kid!

  • Comment posted by Terry, at 22:57 21 Dec 2018

    Lesson to learn for young english talent. Foden will be sub three years. Sancho be a world star in three years.

  • Comment posted by simon, at 23:09 21 Dec 2018

    You'll probably find Watford developed him, Man C pushed him and he Dortmund are benefiting from his maturity in leaving to play in a different country away from all of his family and friends, that's not an easy decision and I don't blame young lads from not wanting to make that move.

  • Comment posted by paul hirst, at 22:56 21 Dec 2018

    18 yep thats pretty much what i meant bud. With young kids like Sancho,Foden and many of the other junior English kids emerging theres hope for the national team for future.

  • Comment posted by bigkidderz, at 09:14 22 Dec 2018

    Southgate can continue to complain about English players starting in the Premier League being at an all-time low. Or we can realise that if there are Germans, French, Spanish and Italian players in our league, that there are gaps for our youth to develop in theirs.

    It's good for the youth to gain experience of different footballing cultures and will benefit England in the long term.

  • Comment posted by alan, at 07:11 22 Dec 2018

    If only the press would leave him alone to develop peacefully without pressure and any other young players.
    How many players were hyped up by the press and end up being just a good player and nothing exceptional

  • Comment posted by McWibble, at 02:30 22 Dec 2018

    Nice to see Reus having a good season, absolutely phenomenal player that's been desperately unlucky with injuries in his career, he's a joy to watch when on form and fully fit. Here's hoping he can get a full season in and help BVB win the league. It's about time someone stopped Bayern, but they'll probably only decimate Dortmund by buying their players again if they do. Horrible club.

  • Comment posted by Baron von Gammon, at 22:53 21 Dec 2018

    He wouldn't have got a look-in in the self-proclaimed 'Greatest League in the World'

    Hopefully he's inspiring more young English players to do the same thing.

    Regardless of the WC semi-final (only because most of the successful countries had a nightmare) we're still miles behind.

    Quality German coaching is the way forward for England.

    Mo Salah is just a goalhanger.

    A very succesful goal hanger who seems to be scoring the goals AGAIN this season, i bet every team wished they had a goal hanger like him....

    mediacity you seem bitter

    city and chelsea are the ruin of english youth. its so wrong considering how theyve become successful.
    pathetic clubs.

    Cmon Dortmund. I got 4/1 at the start of season for them to win Bundesliga. Looking a decent bet. So far anyways. . .

    Some fluffer needs to knock Bayern off their perch. Great league to watch but usually only one winner. It’s like Ligue 1 but the games are decent to watch, crowds are sick too! Cmon you Yellows! 😆
