Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips has promised the team will 'come out fighting' in Sunday's crucial home clash against Brighton. The Whites' Premier League status is hanging in the balance following this evening's 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, when Jesse Marsch's men were not helped by a second red card before the half-hour mark in as many games.
Dan James was dismissed in the 24th minute with the hosts trailing 1-0 to a Mason Mount goal. Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku added second-half efforts. The latest sending off came just three days after Luke Ayling had only lasted three minutes longer before he received his marching orders in the 2-1 loss at Arsenal.
England international Phillips, though, is insisting the players are remaining positive and will give their all for the Elland Road faithful this weekend. Phillips told LUTV: "Tonight was very difficult. You could see from our performance that we were tired after the Arsenal game and we went a man down early in the first half again.
