Keep fighting is the message from Kalvin Phillips as he broke his silence on the mistakes he admits were made in Leeds United’s loss yesterday.
Cardiff City took all three points in Sunday’s lunchtime kick-off and consigned the Whites to their first defeat in seven matches.
The Bluebirds had two shots on target in the entire game and scored both of them, each coming from individual United errors.
In the first half, Phillips messed up a simple pass and gave the ball to Junior Hoilett, who then drove at the United box before hitting the top corner.
Then, in the second period, Liam Cooper’s pass out to Ezgjan Alioski on the touchline was short and well-read by Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who eventually teed up Robert Glatzel.
Taking to Instagram, Phillips said: “Not the result we wanted and not the performance we wanted.
“Mistakes were made and cost us the game, but we keep fighting on to next week.”
Team-mate Barry Douglas replied to the post and said: “It’s football. Eight more games still to play for.”
Third-placed Fulham visit second-placed United at Elland Road for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday.
