Kalvin Phillips impressed for Leeds in win.
Leeds United star Kalvin Phillips continues to impress under Marcelo Bielsa, starring against Rotherham at the weekend.
Phillips lined up in central midfielder alongside Mateusz Klich, and produced a strong all round performance.
Defensively, Phillips was frenetic in breaking up Rotherham’s play.
He made six interceptions, more than any Leeds United player.
By contrast, the rest of the Leeds team including substitutes made seven interceptions combined.
Phillips touched the ball 112 times, more than any other Leeds player, and he was effective in possession.
He completed 88 per cent of his passes, creating two goalscoring chances.
One of these was the defence splitting through ball which put Kemar Roofe in on goal to score Leeds’ second goal of the game and clinch the win.
Phillips has been impressive across Leeds’ opening three league games and he has bought into Marcelo Bielsa’s style of playing.
Still only 22, the sky is the limit for Phillips if he continues this type of form.
