England starlet Jadon Sancho made his Bundesliga debut in Borussia Dortmund's absorbing 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, becoming the first Englishman in history to pull on the Ruhr district club's famous black-and-yellow shirt.

Sancho's hotly anticipated Bundesliga debut crowns a memorable couple of weeks for the prodigious forward.
