Kalvin Phillips endured a difficult start to his West Ham career by giving away a goal to Dominic Solanke three minutes into his debut. Despite the error, fans and pundits agree that Phillips was not entirely to blame, as the pass from Kurt Zouma into Phillips was partly responsible. Nevertheless, Phillips did make efforts to recover throughout the game, and was eventually substituted by David Moyes in the 68th minute. The loanee's poor start highlights the need for regular action to secure a place in the upcoming Euros squad.
