Kalvin Phillips apologises to Nketiah for Leeds United's goal

Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips says he has apologised to Eddie Nketiah for the latter player's inability to score in the weekend's 1-0 Championship win at home to Birmingham City.

Phillips broke the deadlock in the 65th minute. Nketiah, who was a second-half substitute for starting forward Patrick Bamford, was in a good position to score his third Championship goal of the season, but Phillips was the one who sealed the game.

"I might start teaching Pat and Eddie how to finish. Don’t tell them I said that. Don’t tell them. I’m only joking,” Phillips said on BBC Radio Leeds.
