• Leverkusen four points clear of Bayern after Palacios winner
• Internazionale five points clear at top of Serie A after 5-1 win

Fifth-placed Borussia Dortmund eased past the Bundesliga’s bottom side, Darmstadt, 3-0 away for a winning start to the new year as Jadon Sancho set up one goal on his return for the Ruhr valley club after his loan move from Manchester United.

The England international had left Dortmund after four years for United in August 2021 but failed to hold down a regular spot and has made just three appearances this season after becoming embroiled in a row with Erik ten Hag. But he looked right at home as Dortmund earned their first win in five league games in the Bundesliga restart following a three-week winter break.
