Phillips predicts Leeds will bounce back after more pain

Kalvin Phillips, the Leeds United midfielder, is not too concerned about the club’s poor form, after goals from Danny Graham and Darragh Lenihan took Blackburn Rovers to a 2-1 win in a pulsating game at Ewood Park on Saturday.

“We’ve had a dip in form, but that happens in football,” said Phillips, whose side have won just once in five matches. “Morale is great in there. We have a great set of lads, a good set of leaders and we never think we’re not good enough. I think with more hard work we can only get better and better. Credit to Blackburn, they did very well and put pressure on us when we did not expect it.”

Thomas Frank’s first game in charge of Brentford fell flat. His side had Chris Mepham sent off in the second half before falling behind to a Niclas Eliasson 90th-minute goal as they went down 1-0 at home to Bristol City.

West Brom missed the chance to return to the top of the table as they went down 1-0 at Wigan, Josh Windass scoring a 74th-minute winner before Albion’s Jake Livermore was sent off.

Jack Marriott’s second goal in as many games sealed Derby’s 2-1 win over Sheffield United.

The striker flicked home Craig Forsyth’s cross at the near post as Derby claimed a first league win in four matches.

Midfielder Craig Bryson handed Derby the lead after just 19 seconds, sweeping home his second goal in three games to cap a flowing move.

United hit back through Chris Basham, who netted his second goal of the campaign. But just when the visitors were shaping up to grind out a draw, up popped Marriott to steer home the winner.
