Jadon Sancho praised his "special" bond with Borussia Dortmund after scoring in their Champions League win over PSV.

Sancho opened the scoring for Borussia Dortmund in the third minute before Marco Reus secured a 2-0 home win late on to send them through 3-1 on aggregate.

That win helped to book a quarter-final spot for the Bundesliga giants for the first time in three years.

Following a challenging stint with Manchester United, Sancho returned to Dortmund in January.

He scored his first Bundesliga goal last weekend and expressed his affection for the club after the Champions League win.

He told TNT Sports: "I've always had a special place in Borussia Dortmund — this is where I made my name.

"I've got to be grateful to my teammates for believing in me and I'm just happy we got the win.

"It was a relief to score so early. All players want to have a good start to the game and there's no better feeling than that."
