Jadon Sancho made an instant impact on his Borussia Dortmund return as he set up a goal in a 3-0 Bundesliga win at Darmstadt on Saturday.

England international Sancho rejoined Dortmund on loan this week after being frozen out of the first-team picture at Manchester United.

The 23-year-old had not played senior football since August but he wasted little time after entering the action as a 55th-minute substitute.

Sancho had a shot blocked soon after coming on and in the 77th minute he found space in the area to tee up Marco Reus for the visitorsโ€™ second goal.

Dortmund, who had been leading since a Julian Brandt opener after 24 minutes, wrapped up victory in the closing moments through Youssoufa Moukoko.

Sancho said on Sky Sports: โ€œEver since Iโ€™ve come back itโ€™s felt like home and Iโ€™m happy to be on the pitch again.

โ€œI just want to be happy again, be back on the pitch and help the team get back in the top three and qualify for the Champions League.

โ€œIโ€™ve got personal goals that Iโ€™m not going to say for now. I just want to help the team.โ€
