Dortmund 4 Atletico Madrid 0: BVB stun Atleti as Jadon Sancho strikes in Champions League thrashing

England international Jadon Sancho scored as Borussia Dortmund stunned Atletico Madrid in an extraordinary 4-0 Champions League rout.

Sancho's superb form for Dortmund earned him his first England cap against Croatia in the last international break, and the former Manchester City forward followed that up with a goal as BVB shocked Atletico in Germany on Wednesday night.

Achraf Hakimi - on loan from Real Madrid - helped Dortmund defeat his parent club's fierce rivals by setting up three of the goals.

It was Atletico's heaviest defeat of the season so far, and the worst in the Champions League with Diego Simeone as coach. The Europa League champions had only conceded five goals in nine Spanish League games.

Hakimi, who joined Dortmund on loan for two seasons in the summer, pulled the ball back for Axel Witsel to break the deadlock in the 39th minute and sent it back into the centre for Raphael Guerreiro in the 73rd minute - 10 minutes before he set up Sancho to seal the win with a tap-in.

There was still time for Guerreiro to grab his second after a botched backpass from Filipe Luis in the 89th minute.

Club Brugge drew 1-1 at home with Monaco in the other Group A game. Dortmund lead with nine points from three games, three ahead of Atletico ahead of their return game in Madrid on November 6.
