Daniel Farke revealed he almost took the ball off Lukas Nmecha before the substitute’s late penalty secured Leeds a winning return to the Premier League against Everton.

Summer signing Nmecha, a free transfer from Wolfsburg, held his nerve to bury his 84th-minute spot kick – just six minutes after stepping off the bench to replace Joel Piroe – to clinch Leeds a deserved 1-0 victory at Elland Road.
