Patrick Vieira makes Killian Phillips statement after Liverpool clash with Crystal Palace prediction

Patrick Vieira has said he feels there is more to come from Crystal Palace midfielder Killian Phillips after his performance against Liverpool.

The 20-year-old from Dublin played against the Champions League finalists at the Singapore National Stadium on Friday, with Phillips starting alongside Luka Milivojevic and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi in midfield for the Eagles. The former Drogheda United youngster acquitted himself well too, earning praise for his performance and his post-match interview, in which he described his journey from Sunday League football three years ago to playing against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

And Vieira has praised the midfielder, who only joined Palace's academy in January from the League of Ireland, having made his senior debut for Drogheda United in April 2021. Indeed, the Frenchman has said he feels the Irish midfielder can keep improving as he hailed his attitude and approach to working with the first team this summer.
