WHAT HAPPENED?
The English winger is a different breed with the yellow jersey as he rolled back the years to hand Dortmund the lead on Wednesday evening in a packed Signal Iduna Park. He took just three minutes to break the deadlock after a loosely cleared ball fell at his feet. Sancho took his time to aim and unleashed a shot from outside the box with sniper-like precision that went through a defender's legs to end up in the back of the net after hitting the base of the post.
