Not a bad day for an England midfielder to restate their case. To provide a timely reminder of why they deserve a spot on that plane this winter.
There was little under 25 minutes left when Elland Road rose to salute Kalvin Phillips. To serenade their Yorkshire Pirlo on his return after four months out with a hamstring problem.
How Leeds have missed him, how Gareth Southgate could do with his intelligence and industry in Qatar. How cruel, then, that Phillips was barged out of the limelight here by a Three Lions team-mate.
Now, only David Beckham (18) has scored more Premier League free-kicks than James Ward-Prowse.
