'He really wanted to score his first Dortmund goal!' - Niclas Fullkrug explains Jadon Sancho argument over penalty-taking duties against Koln

Dortmund were awarded a spot kick after Sancho was brought down in the Koln box and Fullkrug was tasked with taking it. Sancho pleaded with his team-mate to let him get the chance to score his first goal since joining on loan from Manchester United, but Fullkrug dismissed him and scored.

Asked about the incident afterwards, Fullkrug explained: "Actually, we also have a small ranking. Normally I'm at the top with Marco [Reus] and Emre [Can]. Jadon would definitely have converted it, too. He really wanted to score his first goal for Dortmund again. That's coming next week."

Sancho did not seem too upset by the striker ignoring him as the pair hugged in celebration after the goal. The German side went on to score two more goals in the game to win 4-0 to pull them level with RB Leipzig and one point behind Stuttgart, who both lost on Saturday.

After failing to find the net for the first time since his Dortmund return, Sancho will hope to get on the scoresheet and help his team to three straight wins when they meet Bochum on January 28.
