Sancho shines
After three matches without a win, Borussia Dortmund climbed to fifth with a 3-1 home victory over Augsburg as England winger Jadon Sancho notched his third goal of the new year. Dreadful Dortmund defending afforded Andre Hahn too much time and space in the area to fire Augsburg into an early lead. Erling Braut Haaland blasted a penalty attempt against the crossbar on 21 minutes, the third spot-kick missed by Dortmund this season. However, Thomas Delaney calmed their nerves with a headed goal from a corner before Sancho put Dortmund ahead. Augsburg defender Felix Uduokhai then scored an own goal as Dortmund bounced back from consecutive defeats. "A win like that is much nicer than the results we have had in recent weeks," admitted Dortmund winger Julian Brandt. Borussia Moenchengladbach became the latest big name to struggle at Union Berlin after being held to a 1-1 draw. Leverkusen and Dortmund have already lost in eastern Berlin this season and Gladbach needed an Alassane Plea equaliser to get the point which leaves them seventh. Schalke remained rooted to the bottom, now nine points from escaping the relegation places, after a 1-1 draw at Werder Bremen.
