'You're too fat to play for Leeds!': Kalvin Phillips responds brilliantly to ruthless Elland Road chants by laughing and applauding the home crowd before they serenade him as 'the Yorkshire Pirlo' on his first return to his boyhood club

Kalvin Phillips responded brilliantly to ruthless chants made by Leeds fans about his weight during his first return to Elland Road as a Manchester City player.

Phillips was left out of Pep Guardiola's squad for City's Carabao Cup defeat against Liverpool last week because he returned from the World Cup 'overweight'.

While he was deemed fit enough for a place on the bench on Wednesday night, Leeds fans brutally chanted 'You're too fat to play for Leeds' and 'Kalvin Phillips, he eats what he wants' at their former midfielder.
