According to the Bundesliga's official website, the 14 assists registered by Sancho is the highest number of assists created by an Englishman since Frank Lampard managed the feat in the 2009/10 campaign with Chelsea.
Sancho also became the youngest player ever in Bundesliga history to register as many assists as he has in a single campaign, overtaking Gotze's tally of 11 in the 2010/11 season with Dortmund.
