Grealish Debuts for Everton in Loss at Promoted Leeds in Premier League

Leeds United beat Everton 1-0 on August 18, 2025, at Elland Road in their Premier League return after two years away.
Leeds were awarded a late penalty after Everton's captain James Tarkowski was judged to have handled the ball while attempting to block a shot, a call that Everton manager David Moyes strongly contested.
Leeds dominated early, forcing five corners and taking 12 shots in the first half while Everton failed to register any shots on goal.
Lukas Nmecha, a summer signing who came on as a substitute, scored the penalty in the 84th minute, while Jack Grealish made his Everton debut as a second-half substitute.
The result marks a winning start for promoted Leeds, who join Sunderland in avoiding immediate relegation trends seen in recent seasons, while Everton prepares to host Brighton at their new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.
