WATCH: Another Jadon Sancho assist gives Borussia Dortmund the lead

JOE

The English youngster continues to make a name for himself in Germany

Jadon Sancho came off the bench to help earn Borussia Dortmund a 3-1 win over Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Friday night.

Highly-rated Sancho, who quit Manchester City for Dortmund last year, lost two Frankfurt defenders with a skilful back-heel before pinging a cross to the feet of Marius Wolf to put Dortmund 2-1 in front.

Sancho continued to make an impact as he went on to play a part in the third goal, his deflected pass falling for Paco Alcacer to wrap up the result.

Sancho has now made seven assists and scored one goal for Dortmund since his debut last season as calls grow for him to be handed an England call-up.

Despite his good form, the 18-year-old wasn’t part of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the internationals earlier this month.

It surely won’t be long before his inclusion, though, with Dortmund unbeaten and flying high at the top of the Bundesliga.
