Paco Alcacer sets Bundesliga scoring record in just 16 matches

Paco Alcacer has become the first player in the history of the Bundesliga to score 10 goals as a substitute in a single season.

The 25-year-old joined Borussia Dortmund from Barcelona this summer on a season-long loan and has been an inspired signing for the Bundesliga leaders.

He is currently leading the Bundesliga in goals with 12, made even more impressive by the fact he's been used off the bench as often as he's been in the starting side.

Alcacer has now netted in his first seven appearances as a substitute, netting 10 times in those seven outings including a goal against Fortuna Dusseldorf on Tuesday.
