Bundesliga 2019-20: 3 talking points from Bayern Munich's 4-0 win over Dusseldorf

#2 Bayern coach Hansi Flick has led his team to 3 wins in 3 games without conceding a goal

Since being entrusted to coach the first-team following the unceremonious ouster of erstwhile coach Nico Kovac post the humbling 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt, Hansi Flick has led Bayern to three wins in as many games without conceding a goal.

This is the best start by a Bayern coach since Carlo Ancelotti. Bayern's second-straight 4-0 Bundesliga victory sees the Munich club move to within a point of leaders leaders Borussia Monchengladbach, who succumbed to a loss at promoted club Union Berlin earlier in the day.

Considering the extent of Flick's impact on Bayern's fortunes since their worst Bundesliga defeat in a decade, the German is making a strong case for himself to be at the helm for a longer period of time than 'till at least the Christmas break', as suggested by the club's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
