Lukas Nmecha's late penalty saw Leeds to a 1-0 win against Everton on their return to the Premier League after a harsh handball decision against James Tarkowski.
Everton boss David Moyes had questioned some of the refereeing decisions on the opening weekend when asked on Monday Night Football, and will now feel even more aggrieved as his captain was penalised.
The game looked to be heading for a goalless draw when Anton Stach's shot hit Tarkowski who was down low inside the area. It looked as if his arms were by his side, but referee Chris Kavanagh's decision to award a penalty was confirmed by VAR.

Leeds take a late lead at Elland Road against Everton
Joel Piroe went close for Leeds in the fifth minute as the Premier League new boys dominated first-half possession, but failed to do much with it.
Everton conducted the tempo after the break, playing further up the pitch, and Charly Alcaraz drew a fine save from Lucas Perri in the 75th minute, with the goalkeeper down low at the near post.

Perhaps the brightest moment for the Toffees was a debut for marquee summer signing Jack Grealish, but he failed to have a real influence on the game in his 25-minute cameo.
At full-time, Tarkowski and Moyes were seen remonstrating with referee Kavanagh, the manager especially looking incensed. For Leeds and Daniel Farke though, a perfect return to England's top flight.
