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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, the decisive moment came when James Tarkowski was penalised for handball from Anton Stach's deflected drive, and Nmecha held his nerve to beat Jordan Pickford, Premier League reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nmecha became the first Leeds substitute to score on his Premier League debut since Alan Smith in November 1998, while he\u2019s the first player to score a penalty on his debut for the club in the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As Leeds United marked their return to the Premier League with a victory, the manager Daniel Farke was delighted with the Whites\u2019 performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think overall in a tight game, a hard-fought win but also a well-deserved win from my side,\u201d Farke told the media.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOutstanding performance. I think we were very dominant in the first half and had nearly 70 per cent possession, 12 shots already in the first half.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n

While Leeds are up and running, Everton will approach their first Premier League game at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday without a point to their name.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
