West Ham star Declan Rice has reacted to Kalvin Phillips’ Instagram story celebrating Leeds United’s survival from relegation.

the Whites never do it easy, and it took until deep into added time against brentford for their status in the Premier League to be secured, thanks to a stunning strike from Jack Harrison.

As Leeds did all they could to stay up, they needed a favour from Newcastle United, who obliged with a nervy 2-1 win over Burnley at Turf Moor.

Would Phillips be a good signing for Manchester City?

Yes

Yes

No

No

It means Leeds are now looking at a third season in the Premier League where they can hope to build beyond just staying in the division.

Kalvin Phillips shared his reaction to the scenes on Instagram, with West Ham’s Declan Rice reacting with joy to the message:

Plenty more battles between two of England’s finest to come.

I’m not certain that we’re going to see Phillips in a Leeds shirt next season, but this will mean the world to him to achieve.

It’s great to see that Rice is happy to see his teammate achieve stuff like this, and let’s be honest, West Ham would rather us be in the Premier League than Burnley.

The whole league would really.

Let’s not have to go through this trauma ever again, a comfortable season in 2022/23 would be brilliant.
