Leeds United got off to a winning start in the English Premier League on Monday. However, it remained controversial. Leeds beat Everton 1-0. Leeds won their first game back in the Premier League.

Substitute Lucas Mencha scored the deciding goal from the penalty spot in the 84th minute of the match at Allan Road. With the game heading for a goalless draw, Leeds were awarded a controversial penalty opportunity. A penalty was awarded after Everton captain James Tarkowski 'handled' Anton Stach's ball.
