Daniel Farke’s side continued to look solid as they did in many of their pre-season outings, but ultimately lacked that cutting edge up top until the dying minutes.Leeds were by far and away the better side in the first half, controlling the bulk of possession and limiting the visitors to almost nothing of significance when it comes to troubling the impressive Lucas Perri in between the sticks.
For all of United’s dominance in the first half, they never created any clear-cut chances despite the best efforts of Willy Gnonto, who was busy in the final third but could not find the breakthrough.
Everton grew into the game in the second half, but as James Tarkowski blocked a striker from Anton Stach with his arm, Leeds were awarded a penalty in which substitute Lukas Nmecha converted on his debut in the 84th minute.
