Jadon Sancho scores during the Bundesliga match between SC Paderborn 07 and Borussia Dortmund at Benteler Arena in Paderborn, Germany, on Sunday. (AP)England forward Jadon Sancho capped a blistering individual performance with a second-half hat-trick which helped Borussia Dortmund to a 6-1 win at Paderborn on Sunday and kept alive their slim Bundesliga title hopes. With striker Erling Haaland sidelined by a knee injury, the visitors missed a string of chances in the first half but Sancho lit up the second as Dortmund ran riot. Sancho made it 2-0 with a simple tap-in from two metres, three minutes later, before an Uwe Hunemeier penalty briefly rekindled Paderborn’s challenge in the 72nd minute. It turned out to be a false dawn as Sancho scored Dortmund’s third two minutes later with a fine left-foot shot from inside the penalty area and Paderborn fell apart in the closing stages.
