The late penalty gives the hosts a great victory -

Leeds United has ahead of a tight and tense opening match of the Premier League against Everton while Lukas Nmecha came out of the bench to slam in a decisive penalty.

After Sunderland beat West Ham on Saturday, United won two victories for the newly promoted teams when the former Manchester City striker Nmecha kept his composure in a Cauldron of Elland Road Noise to beat Jordan Pickford 12 meters.

Everton, who kept the new signature of Jack Grenish on the bench up to the last 20 minutes, was at best warm in the first half, but warmed up and was at the top before the goal.

Referee Chris Kavanagh highlighted the place when James Tarkowsksi blocked a shot by Anton Stach with his arm – who had returned to his side.

David Moyes will now call for more reinforcements after having sometimes seen a makeshift struggle.

Midfielder James Garner had to fill on the left back and Everton had no time before 10 minutes in the second half when Idrissa Gueye slammed on top.

They then settled and looked brilliant, with a good game of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall releasing Charly Alcaraz for a low shot well saved by the beginner Lucas Perri.

Toffees defender Jake O’Brien and Leeds midfielder Ao Tanaka both shot the game and the match seemed ready to finish tirelessly until Nmecha’s vital contribution – winning the match with his third touch of the ball.
