Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho continued to show everyone why he is one of the most exciting prospects across Europe with a goal against Atletico Madrid.
18-year-old Sancho scored only 4 minutes after being substituted on for Lucien Favre’s Dortmund side.
Mario Gotze sparked the attack with a brilliant through ball to Achraf Hakimi (on loan from Real Madrid) who then unselfishly squared the ball to Sancho who tapped into an empty net in the 83rd minute of the tie.
