As Leeds United: Lukas Nmecha enjoyed a dream Leeds United debut as his late penalty helped the club began their 2025/26 Premier League campaign with a memorable 1-0 victory over Everton.

Nmecha, who joined Daniel Farke's side on a free transfer in June after leaving Bundesliga club Wolfsburg, came off the bench to slot home from the spot in the 84th minute.

Having won the Championship title with 100 points last season, Leeds played with a swagger at a buoyant Elland Road, but it looked like they would have to settle for a point as a stubborn Everton defence dug in.
