YEP 8/7/21 Leeds United history maker Kalvin Phillips quickly turns attention to his next big aim
LEEDS United midfielder Kalvin Phillips immediately turned his attention to Sunday's European Championships final after hailing an "immense" England display against Denmark.

Phillips played the full duration of Wednesday night's
semi-final at Wembley which the Danes took to extra time after initially
leading through Mikkel Damsgaard's free-kick on the half hour.
The Three Lions equalised nine minutes later as a Bukayo
Saka cross forced a Simon Kjaer own goal and captain Kane then finally booked
England s place in Sunday's final against Italy when netting the rebound from a
missed penalty in extra time.
Kane's 104th-minute winner has sealed England's first place
in a major international tournament since 1966 and Phillips has become the
first ever Leeds player to make a Euros final.
Phillips was left naturally thrilled - but already with full
focus on getting ready to take on the Italians.
"WE’RE IN THE FINAL" said a delighted Phillips on
social media.
"Team were immense today what a night and what support
from our amazing fans!
"See you Sunday."
