Former Leeds United star Kalvin Phillips enjoys big new club personal first but followed by bitter twist
A bitter twist followed a big new club first for a former Leeds United favourite.
A big Sheffield United first for ex-Leeds United favourite Kalvin Phillips has been followed by a bitter twist.
Manchester City’s former Whites favourite Phillips joined initially joined Sheffield United on loan for the rest of the season last January before re-joining the club on a season-long loan this summer.
The 30-year-old made his third Championship start of the new season for the Blades in Saturday’s clash at Stoke City in which the midfielder fired his side ahead with a brilliant long range free-kick for his first goal for the club and first since netting for Ipswich Town back in January 2025.
The fine strike from Phillips had the Blades on course for victory but a bitter twist followed as two goals inside the final 12 minutes gave Stoke a comeback 2-1 victory.
