Jadon Sancho hat-trick hands Dortmund three points against Paderborn
Borussia Dortmund put the mid-week defeat against Bayern Munich behind them with a 6-1 hammering of Paderborn on Sunday at the Benteler-Arena. Jadon Sancho grabbed the first hat-trick of his career while Thorgan Hazard, Achraf Hakimi and Marcel Schmelzer also got on the scoresheet. However, Jadon Sancho still remains the talk of the town following his impressive display against the side staring at relegation.
Following his poor display against Bayern Munich in Dortmund's last game, the Jadon Sancho transfer rumours have once again taken the internet by storm as the winger was grilled over his fitness issues earlier.

Sancho took his tally to 20 goals for the season and has already notched up 18 assists as well.
