Can you remember where Leeds finished in these league seasons? First up: 2018/19

And, when reflecting on the 0-0 draw with Thomas Tuchel’s side on Twitter, Phillips praised the “solid performance” of his team, as well as highlighting the fact Illan Meslier kept yet another clean sheet against a “very good side”.

In reaction to his post, fans of Leeds then flocked to have their say on the matter, with many heaping a considerable amount of praise on the England international for his personal display against Chelsea.
