Jadon Sancho was on target as 10-man Borussia Dortmund won in Jurgen Klinsmann’s first game in charge of Hertha Berlin.

Goals from Sancho and Thorgan Hazard gave Dortmund an early two-goal cushion before Vladimir Darida pulled a goal back for hosts Hertha.

Mats Hummels was sent off for a second bookable offence before half-time, but Lucien Favre’s side held on.

The result lifts Dortmund up to fifth in the Bundesliga table.

Sancho has now scored in three successive games for Dortmund after netting in last weekend’s 3-3 draw with Paderborn and the 3-1 defeat by Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig overcame a comeback from Paderborn to hold on for a 3-2 victory on Saturday and provisionally climb to the top of the Bundesliga.

Leipzig opened their account in the third minute with a Patrick Schick goal and immediately doubled their lead through Marcel Sabitzer. Timo Werner made it 3-0 in the 26th minute as they looked to be cruising to a comfortable win over the promoted club.

But Paderborn rallied after the break, cutting the deficit just past the hour through a fine solo effort by Streli Mamba before Klaus Gjasula grabbed their second in the 73rd to set up a tense finale.

Leipzig held on, however, to move up to 27 points, two ahead of Borussia Moenchengladbach who face Freiburg on Sunday.
