Bundesliga have announced that Dortmund star Jadon Sancho is named Matchday 24's Man of the Matchday.
Fast forward to his winner in the 1-0 victory over Freiburg on Matchday 24 and Sancho is not only one of the most potent forwards in Europe, but the 19-year-old England international is also a bona fide BVB talisman.
With new partner-in-crime Erling Haaland among the substitutes and captain Marco Reus absent through injury, Sancho shouldered the bulk of his side's goalscoring burden - and he did so emphatically with the only goal of the game.
His strike was his 14th of the campaign and, alongside his 14 assists, Sancho tops both charts for Dortmund in 2019/20. No player has been involved in more Bundesliga goals so far this season and Sancho has already bettered his 2018/19 return of 13 goals and 14 assists.
Sancho's latest effort took his overall record to 16 goals and 23 assists from 33 games in his home away from home, meaning 59 per cent of his 27 Bundesliga goals and 72 per cent of his top-flight assists have come in front of his own fans. He’s also only lost three of those 33 games, winning 23 - or 70 per cent - of them in the process and drawing a further seven. Furthermore, Dortmund have never lost when Sancho has found the back of the net at the Signal Iduna Park.
Thriving against the backdrop of one of the most loyal, passionate sets of supporters in world football, there is no question the young lad from the English capital is made for Dortmund - and vice versa.
