Leeds United earned a decent point away at Brentford last night to maintain their position in the top two of the Championship.

The Whites will drop out of the automatic promotion places this evening, however, if Fulham defeat Millwall.

Liam Cooper cancelled out Said Benrahma’s opener last night and ensured Leeds left Griffin Park with something for their efforts.

The performance was decent and Marcelo Bielsa’s team were perhaps the better team throughout the contest.

One massive positive to come out of the game was the return of Kalvin Phillips who completed his three-match ban to return to the midfield.

He was solid throughout and Leeds will relish his presence during the last 14 games of the campaign.

Following the game he took to Twitter to rave about the performance and thank an army of travelling supporters:

Phillips signed a new contract at Elland Road back in September, keeping him at the club until 2024.

Leeds had to fend off Premier League interest during the summer transfer window and moved quickly to tie him down.

The 24-year-old is a vital component of Bielsa’s team and his return could see the Whites kick on once more.

Following his performance, several Leeds supporters responded to Phillips’ tweet to welcome him back to the team.

Here is a selection of tweets from Leeds fans on the back of the midfield maestro’s message.
