Canadian Phenom Alphonso Davies Pops Up To Provide Vital Bayern Spark

After scoring upon Bundesliga’s return last week, Haaland was fairly quiet on the road this time around. In fact, BVB in general failed to create the number of chances you come to expect from one of Europe’s most exciting teams.
