Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United won at Elland Road on Saturday.

Kalvin Phillips of Leeds United looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Hull City and Leeds United at KCOM Stadium on February 29, 2020 in Hull, England.

Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips has taken to Instagram to express his delight at his side’s win against Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side got the better of Huddersfield 2-0 at Elland Road in the Championship.

Luke Ayling put the West Yorkshire outfit in the lead after just three minutes, and Patrick Bamford doubled the advantage six minutes into the second half.

Phillips did not play due to injury, although head coach Bielsa has said that it is not serious, as quoted in The Yorkshire Evening Post.

The 24-year-old has taken to social media to revel in his side’s success, and so has his teammate and Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
