We are witnessing something extraordinary with these two players at Borussia Dortmund. They seem to be simply unstoppable in their own rights, combining together and with others all over the pitch. Jadon Sancho is in world beating form with 9 goals and 7 assists in his past 9 games. That a solid total over the course of a season for a lot of attackers never mind a 9 game span, that’s absurd.

Erling Haaland is the poacher Dortmund have been looking for since Aubameyang’s departure. He has exceptional instincts in front of goal that are going to continue to result in goals galore. With 7 goals in 3 games and limited minutes, Haaland’s impact has been instantaneous and massive.
