Match Report
Jadon Sancho became Borussia Dortmund's youngest ever goalscorer in the Revierderby as Lucien Favre's men claimed local bragging rights and a fifth consecutive Bundesliga victory by beating Schalke 2-1 in Gelsenkirchen.
Thomas Delaney gave Dortmund the lead after just seven minutes, scoring the derby's fastest goal in 19 years, but Schalke hit back when Marco Reus conceded a second-half penalty that Daniel Caligiuri converted.
Sancho settled the match with just over 15 minutes left on the clock and the result leaves Schalke sliding towards the relegation zone after an erratic run of form in which they have lost two and drawn one of their last four league matches, despite also picking up a 5-2 win over Nurnberg.

Witsel is hands down the most important player for us. His passing is unbelievable, defending is unbelievable, his vision, his hair, his attitude and composure. I like him!

I'm in heaven. This team is just so, so good. Like insanely good. We have everything it takes to win the league this season. A true leader, a great defense, a great midfield and a amazing attack. Sancho, I'm speechless. Wow. Take a bow.

DERBYSIEGER! DERBYSIEGER! HEY! HEY! Not our strongest game ever, but who cares. Seeing smurf having to focus on keeping us out of their half, and a game plan based solely on aggression and whining was kind of rewarding. Even with that gift of a penalty they couldn't get anything from this game - the better team one. Now off to celebrate!
