Man Utd loanee Januzaj scores debut goal for Borussia Dortmund

Adnan Januzaj marked his first appearance in a Borussia Dortmund shirt with a goal on Tuesday evening.


The Belgian playmaker, who joined the German club on a season-long loan from Manchester United in the summer, hit the back of the net in a friendly with 2.Bundesliga outfit St Pauli.

Januzaj skilfully cut back to beat an opponent before firing goal-ward to see his effort take a couple of deflections on the way through in the 18th minute of Dortmund's eventual 2-1 win.

The 20-year-old took to Twitter to post his delight at scoring so early into his spell with the Schwarzgelben:

The match, which took place in Hamburg, was organised in order to raise awareness of the refugee crisis currently enveloping Europe.
