Sancho's Goal, Assist Help Dortmund Come Back to Beat Cologne

Sancho scored a goal and had an assist for a second straight game as Dortmund beat Cologne 3-1.

BERLIN (AP) – Jadon Sancho scored one and set up another for Borussia Dortmund to come from behind and maintain its winning start to the Bundesliga in a 3-1 win at Cologne on Friday.

The 19-year-old English player became the youngest to ever clock 15 goals in the league when he cancelled out Dominick Drexler's 29th-minute opener for Cologne in the 70th, then set up Paco Alcacer to seal the win in injury time after Achraf Hakimi gave Dortmund the lead in the 88th.

2 games. 2 goals.

Cologne was celebrating its first home game back in the Bundesliga following its promotion as second-division champion, but, despite a plucky performance, has now slumped to two defeats from two games following its 2-1 loss at Wolfsburg last weekend. The team was still applauded and cheered by fans long after the final whistle.

The fans also feted a new mascot, a goat named Hennes IX, who was attending his first game following the retirement of his predecessor Hennes VIII.

Dortmund opened with a 5-1 win over Augsburg.
