Controversial spot-kick proves decisive but Blues rarely threaten

Toffees come unstuck with penalty decision

LUCAS NMECHA converted a controversial late penalty on his debut as Leeds made a winning return to the Premier League by beating Everton 1-0 at Elland Road.

Second-half substitute Nmecha held his nerve to fire home an 84th-minute winner from the spot to seal Leeds a deserved win after Everton captain James Tarkowski was adjudged to have handled.

Leeds debutant Anton Stach’s thumping shot struck Tarkjowski on the arm and although referee Chris Kavanagh's penalty decision appeared harsh, it was upheld by VAR.

After a minute's silence in tribute to former Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and brother Andre Silva, Leeds, back in the top flight after a two-year absence, made their customary feverish start.
