Gabriel Gudmundsson of Leeds’ summer signature said that Elland Road’s “WOW” factor helped his team make a winning return in the Premier League.
Lukas Nmecha’s controversial late penalty deserved the 1-0 victory against Everton in their first game in the elite after an absence of two years. The LS11 atmosphere reached the fever and the left back of Sweden Gudmundsson, signed for a 10 million pounds of Lille in July, recognized that fans would be the key to their chances of survival.

Gudmundsson told Lutv after an impressive start: “Wow! I really enjoyed this one, I can tell you.
“We must have this atmosphere. It was incredible. It was so good and we need them to push us.
“It makes a difference. Obviously, you focus on the game, but you know, hearing the crowd screaming and singing is really nice.
“This adds a small percentage – to work and run and fight even more, so they must continue to do it.
“In the Premier League, we will suffer, but we have to suffer together.”
Gudmundsson said three points in their first match were crucial for Leeds, the next two games of the League are in Arsenal and against Newcastle before the first international break in September.
“It was the first game and it was really important to start well,” added the 26 -year -old left back. “We know what three points mean.
“We know that we have two games to come which will be really difficult.”
Leeds is waiting to learn the full extent of Ethan Ampadé’s injury after a challenge at the end of the second half of Tim Iroegbunam’s second half has finally seen their forced captain, but one thing they know with certainty is that they have a grass superstar in Gudmundsson, which was one of the best performances of the night.
The former Lille star covered more than 10 kilometers at night, recording one of the highest sofascore notes on the ground thanks to four authorizations, two interceptions, four successful dribbles and two successful crosses.
The boss of Everton, David Moyes, was furious against the penalty decision of the referee Chris Kavanagh, supported by Var, after James Tarkowski was tried for having manipulated after having looked at the deflected shot of Anton Stach.
But Everton carried little threat and Daniel Farke will know that his team can stand up if they can make life as miserable for all the other visitors as for the Toffees, while the boss will soon have a new weapon to use after Leeds concluded an agreement to sign the AC Milan Stike Noah Okaor.
