Jadon Sancho made an immediate impact following his return to Borussia Dortmund on loan, with the winger assisting Marco Reus after coming off the bench against Darmstadt.
The game marks Sancho’s first competitive appearance since August, have rejoined Dortmund after having a public falling out with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. After the Dutchman left Sancho out of the squad for United’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, he explained the 23-year-old’s absence was down to his “performances in training”.
Having been named on the bench for Dortmund’s trip to Darmstadt, Sancho replaced Jamie Bynoe-Gittens in the 55th minute with Edin Terzic’s side leading 1-0 thanks to a goal from Julian Brandt.
And just 20 minutes after he was brought on, Sancho linked up with Reus to double Dortmund’s lead. After latching on to an excellent pass from Donyell Malen, Sancho kept his composure and squared the ball for Reus to stroke it into an empty net.
He had a massive smile on his face as he celebrated the goal with the likes of Reus, Malen and Emre Can and Dortmund went on to win the game 3-0, with Youssoufa Moukoko scoring the third in added time.
