Monday’s Leeds United hero Lukas Nmecha says his side showed a lot of maturity throughout their win over Everton but that the team lacked the cutting edge in the final third.
Nmecha also won as many duels (one) as Piroe managed (one) in 78 minutes on the pitch, per Sofascore, which perhaps speaks to the difference in physicality and mobility between the two forwards, as the substitute immediately looked to cause problems for Tarkowski and Michael Keane.

Nmecha secured a "massive" win for Leeds, but this was also definitely a game which gives Farke ammo to push for his new striker. Rasmus Hojlund, anyone?
Leeds won 1-0 via a late penalty for a hand-ball against James Tarkowski and converted by Nmecha. The summer signing later said: "Amazing. I'm really happy. It was a great first game.
