Loads of Leeds fans have been reacting to their superb 3-0 win at Norwich, and they just can’t stop talking about Kalvin Phillips.
Of all the impressive transformations that have taken place at Elland Road since the arrival of Marcelo Bielsa, none have been quite as drastic as that of Phillips.
The tough tackling midfielder was one of the main scapegoats in midfield last season, but has looked a completely different player in a slightly deeper role under Bielsa.
He was withdrawn during the first half of the draw at Swansea, as an early booking limited his ability to get stuck in and break things up.
Whatever the manager said to him after the disappointment in south Wales clearly worked though, as he was an absolute colossus in the win at Norwich on Saturday.

Despite some incredible attacking play from the players further up the pitch, Whoscored.com gave Phillips the highest rating in the match, as he won three aerial duels and three tackles.
He also made three interceptions, ten clearances and four blocks. To put that last number in perspective, no other player on the pitch made more than one.
