'Road Runner' Davies dazzles as Flick betters Guardiola's Bayern recordBayern Munich's Canadian midfielder Alphonso Davies (centre) clocked 35.4 km/h in Saturday's 5-0 league win over Fortuna Duesseldorf. BERLIN: 'Road Runner' Alphonso Davies lived up to his nickname with another lightning sprint Saturday while Hansi Flick bettered Pep Guardiola's record start as head coach of Bayern Munich, who opened a 10-point lead in the Bundesliga. The visitors' defender Mathias Joergensen scored an early own-goal before Benjamin Pavard, Robert Lewandowski (2) and Davies hit the target for Bayern. With five games left, the defending champions, who have won their last eight league games, are comfortably on course for an eighth straight league title. "Yeah, I am quick, but him (Mueller) calling me the 'Road Runner' is a compliment which I take to heart and it was a good nickname," added Davies.
