Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies insists his pace is his strength

Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies has admitted that his pace is his greatest strength despite being caught out of position many times.

The winger turned defender on Tuesday played a key role as Bayern Munich beat title rivals Dortmund to go seven points clear at the top of the table.

“Obviously being a young player I get caught out of position a lot and I’m happy to have the speed I have," Davies told the Bundesliga.

"That’s a factor in my game that I use very well, but I think over the years going forward with this team I will definitely learn more about my position, better positioning so it doesn’t look like I’m out of position just running back as fast as I can to catch up.”

The Ghana born defender made a crucial intervention in the second half when he out-run Dortmund striker Erling Haaland to make a crucial clearance.

Joshua Kimmich's 43rd minute goal was the difference on the day.
