Daniel Farke hails Lukas Nmecha's 'ice-cold finish' in Leeds' win over Everton

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. Farke said: "I was a bit worried. He's on the sheet for taking penalties, but as a substitute, he needed more touches and I was thinking of stepping in there and taking the ball off him."
