Daniel Farke’s side looked well-prepared and disciplined, taking their chances when it mattered most, while Everton were left frustrated after failing to break through Leeds’ defensive shape.
The only goal of the game came midway through the second half, when Leeds capitalized on a defensive lapse from the Toffees. Despite Sean Dyche’s men pushing for an equalizer late on, the home side held firm, with goalkeeper Illan Meslier pulling off key saves to preserve the clean sheet.
For Leeds, the result marks an ideal beginning to their campaign, giving fans optimism that they can push higher up the table this season after reinforcing their squad in the summer. For Everton, however, the defeat is a reminder that they still lack consistency in the final third — something Dyche will need to address quickly if they are to avoid another relegation battle.
