Jadon Sancho became the highest-scoring English player in Bundesliga history with a wonder strike in Borussia Dortmund’s 4-1 defeat by RB Leipzig on Saturday.
The Manchester United loanee rejoined the club in January after being exiled by Erik ten Hag and has begun to replicate the form that earned him a £73million move to the Red Devils in 2021.
Sancho took his tally in the German top-flight to 40 with a delightful curling effort into the top corner after only 20 minutes of the clash.
The effort took him one past the record of former Nottingham Forest and Arsenal winger Tony Woodcock, who made made 155 appearances for Koln across two spells in the 1970s and 80s.
Though, the 24-year-old is unlikely to hold onto the achievement for very long with Harry Kane hot on his heels after a remarkable debut campaign for Bayern Munich.
