Fifth-placed Borussia Dortmund eased past bottom side Darmstadt 98 3-0 away on Saturday (Jan 13) for a winning start to the new year as Jadon Sancho set up a goal on his return for the Ruhr valley club following his loan move from Manchester United. Dortmund now has 30 points, three behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig, which lost 1-0 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, and 15 adrift of league leader Bayer Leverkusen.
Jadon Sancho marked his Borussia Dortmund return from Manchester United with an assist to help the German side to a 3-0 win at Darmstadt 98.
On Thursday, the England winger completed a loan move to the club he left for Old Trafford back in 2021; and he set up Marco Reus to score Dortmund's second, after Julian Brandt had grabbed the opener. Youssoufa Moukoko struck in added time to seal the visitors' first win in five Bundesliga games.
Sancho returned to Germany having not played for Manchester United since Aug 26 after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag.
"Ever since I've come back I have felt like at home and felt great to be on the pitch again," said the 23-year-old, who came off the bench in the 55th minute.
"It was meant to be, coming back and seeing Marco (Reus). I am just happy to set up his goal."
Dortmund are fifth in the Bundesliga table, three points behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig.
