BERLIN, Aug. 24-- Maybe Jadon Sancho didn't know about his latest achievement right after he had scored the 1-1 equalizer in the Cologne arena in minute 70. A shy smile went over his face, but his goal turned a problematic game to good for the Blacks and Yellows. And more: The 19-year-old Youngster, educated at Manchester City, having joined Borussia Dortmund a year ago for eight million euros (about 8.99 million US dollars), scored his 15th goal in the Bundesliga. He set a new mark as he is the youngest player (19 years and 151 days) to have reached that level. So far Horst Koeppel owned that mark in 1967; being 34 days older. It though wasn't all the England international could give in a tight game as he delivered an assist leading to Dortmund's 3-1 win against the newly promoted 1. FC Cologne. It was his 40th goal participation in his 58th game for Borussia. Since the 2018/2019 season, he achieved 16 assists. No other player in one of Europe's five top leagues reached the same mark in that time. Sancho continues his record-setting performance from last season when he was Dortmund's second-best when it comes to scorer-points delivering 32 in 43 games right behind Dortmund star striker and German international Marco Reus. Never before in the Bundesliga's history, an 18-year-old has achieved that many assists and scorer points. London-born Sancho is Dortmund's record man. Having scored his 11th goal in the German league last season, he was the youngest player to reach that number (19 years and 19 days). |
