Jadon Sancho unveils 'justice for George Floyd' shirt after scoring

https://www.insider.com/video-jadon-sancho-hat-trick-george-floyd-shirt-2020-5



Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho tore off his jersey to reveal "Justice for George Floyd" written on his undershirt after scoring his first goal of the match on Sunday.
Sancho, who received a yellow card for his gesture — removing your jersey for any sort of celebration results in an automatic booking — was not the only Bundesliga player to make a show of solidarity on Sunday, as Gladbach forward Marcus Thuram took a knee after scoring his first goal of an earlier match in the day.
On Twitter, fans showed their support for both players using their platform to spread calls for justice.
Sancho would go on to score the first hat trick of his young career, leading Dortmund to a 6-1 victory.




His teammate, Achraf Hakimi, also revealed a shirt that read "Justice for George Floyd," after scoring a goal of his own.
