Kalvin Phillips tells of delight at Leeds United return but frustrated by penalty decision

Kalvin Phillips made his long-awaited return to action for Leeds United in the 1-1 draw with Southampton but was left confused by referee Anthony Taylor's decision not to award the Whites a penalty. Jack Harrison fired Leeds ahead before a stunning free-kick from James Ward-Prowse levelled proceedings and there were appeals for a penalty for the hosts when Joe Gelhardt went down inside the penalty box.

Despite protests, a spot-kick was not awarded and Phillips has revealed he watched the incident back in the changing room and that he does not know how a penalty was not given. Speaking to LUTV after the draw, he said: "I think the challenge at the end, in the penalty box, I think it is a penalty, I've watched it back in the changing room.

"I don't know how he's not given the penalty but we're not one to moan and we're not one to dwell on it so we'll have to keep going [over] the next week."
