Micah Richards has responded to Kalvin Phillips’s message on Instagram following Leeds United’s win against Stoke City at home on Thursday evening.
Leeds hammered Stoke 5-0 at Elland Road in the Championship to enhance their chances of clinching automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Goals from Mateusz Klich, Helder Costa, Liam Cooper, Pablo Hernandez and Patrick Bamford saw Marcelo Bielsa’s side pick up all three points from the encounter.
Phillips has taken to Instagram to revel in the win for Leeds, and Richards has responded to his post.
The 32-year-old former Manchester City and Aston Villa right-back was at Leeds as a youngster before he left for Oldham Athletic and eventually moved to the Citizens.
