Stach 'can't wait' for Everton clash after an 'unreal' Elland Road debut
Yorkshire Evening Post
|August 05, 2025
Anton Stach 'can't wait' to feel Elland Road rocking for Premier League football after getting his first taste of the atmosphere against Villarreal.
Stach was one of five summer arrivals to make their Elland Road debut on Saturday as Leeds and Villarreal played out a 1-1 draw, with Joel Piroe cancelling out Etta Eyong's 62nd-minute opener.
The German midfielder started alongside Gabriel Gudmundsson, Sean Longstaff and Lukas Nmecha while Jaka Bijol came off the bench.
All five available summer signings impressed, with Nmecha continuing to provide a useful physical presence upfront while Longstaff and Gudmundsson provided plenty of energy.
Bijol defended resolutely off the bench, with goalkeeper Lucas Perri and defender Sebastiaan Bornauw both injured.
Stach was arguably the standout new face, however, with the 6ft 4ins midfielder able break up play effectively and move it forward, with over 35,000 inside Elland Road receptive to his efforts.
