'I get caught out of position a lot' - Bayern star Davies admits pace often comes to his rescue

Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies has admitted that he often relies on his speed to bail him out as he continues to learn the left-back position.

Davies helped his side to a vital win at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, as Bayern defeated the Bundesliga's second-place side 1-0 thanks to a Joshua Kimmich goal before half-time.

One of the standout moments in the game also came in the first half, when Davies used his blistering pace to chase down Dortmund star Erling Haaland and deny him a clear chance on goal.
