Leeds United returned to the Premier League with a victory, as Lukas Nmecha's late penalty lifted Daniel Farke's men past Everton 1-0 at Elland Road on Monday.

Leeds United returns to the Premier League after two seasons in the Championship and will play their first match back in the top flight against Everton. Everton will start their season with an exciting project under David Moyes.
