Jadon Sancho inspiring Borussia Dortmund up team form rankings
Borussia Dortmund extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to seven points over the weekend after beating Freiburg 2-0 and Gladbach lost away to RB Leipzig. Even though Gladbach are Dortmund's closest challengers in the table, there is no doubt defending champions Bayern Munich, who are nine points back, will be Lucien Favre's biggest concern.
Jadon Sancho is enjoying a phenomenal campaign for Dortmund and continued to show why he is one of the most sought after English talents on the planet with a WhoScored Man of the Match performance on Saturday. The 18-year-old completed nine dribbles against Freiburg, a record in a Bundesliga match this season.
As a result of winning five of their last six Bundesliga matches, Dortmund have moved up into fourth in the WhoScored team form rankings across Europe’s top five leagues. Only Manchester City, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are in better form across the last six gameweeks, though PSG, who have held a position in the top two for most of the season, are now down to third.
PSG’s perfect start to the season in Ligue 1 came to an end on Sunday after only managing a 2-2 draw with Bordeaux, allowing Juventus into second in the WhoScored team form rankings. The Old Lady comprehensively beat Fiorentina 3-0, their fifth straight win in the league.
Cristiano Ronaldo converted his 10th league goal of the season in the process, meaning the 33-year-old has scored or assisted in 12 of his last 13 appearances in all competitions.
Manchester City remain in first place and by some distance despite the fact their WhoScored form rating dropped marginally as a result of a 3-1 win against Bournemouth at home. Liverpool and Barcelona have entered the top-10 as a result of respective 1-0 and 2-0 wins over Everton and Villarreal, but Atalanta have dropped out of the top-10 after suffering a 2-1 loss to Napoli on Monday night.
