Jadon Sancho scored his first goal since rejoining Borussia Dortmund on loan from Manchester United as they beat Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.
After Donyell Malen put Dortmund 1-0 up, Sancho dribbled into the area and smartly finished at the near post for his first goal since last May.
Justin Njinmah reduced the deficit after Dortmund’s Marcel Sabitzer was sent off, but the visitors held on.
England forward Sancho, 23, rejoined his former club on loan in January.
He has struggled for consistency since completing a £73m move to Old Trafford in July 2021.
Sancho has not played for United since 26 August after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag, and had been training away from the first team since September.
