Jadon Sancho scores twice for Borussia Dortmund - but Son...

Jadon Sancho scored twice for Borussia Dortmund in their 2-2 draw with Hertha Berlin.

The 18-year-old former Manchester City junior had already had a backheel goal ruled out for offside when he finished Mario Gotze's pass to give Dortmund the lead.

Salomon Kalou poked home Hertha's equaliser but Sancho put Dortmund ahead again from a clever Marco Reus lay-off.

Kalou scored an injury-time penalty to rescue a point for the visitors.

At 18 years and 216 days, Sancho is the second youngest foreigner to score twice in a German top-flight game. Only Son Heung-min, now at Tottenham, was younger (18 years, 135 days) - in Hamburg's 3-2 defeat at Hannover on 20 November 2010.

He has now scored four times in his past three games and had a hand in a goal every 52 minutes this season - five goals and eight assists.
