Hide AdPhillips had been missing for a month due to a calf issue and although his return coincided with defeat his presence was felt in United's midfield.
Here's what Elland Road supporters had to say over his comeback in today's social media talking point:
@R9Bamford1 Kalvin Phillips is a world class midfielder. End of debate.
@leedsutdacademy Kalvin Phillips made more ball recoveries (11) than any other player during last nights game against West Ham! Great to see you back Kalvin.

Hide Ad@TisterMumble highlight for me of last night's #lufc game was the Kalvin Phillips come back. What a quality player.
@JDLUFC11 We lost but kalvin Phillips was the best player for Leeds out there today. He looked so composed on the ball.

@ArunJanaka Think Kalvin Phillips has been quite good
@mariussunde Kalvin Phillips 100% baller
@antzhumbleent Glad to see Kalvin Phillips back from injury for Leeds. Will certainly be keen to make up for lost time and impress Gareth Southgate for a spot in the England squad. He's certainly worthy of it.
@GlenLawton4 Kalvin Phillips is 10x times the player Declan rice is #MNF
@godsavethekick Kalvin Phillips is making a big impact on his return. Leeds need him so badly #WHULEE
