    Obviously no photo but I wouldn't get too worried until you've mowed the lawn a good few times.
    Tilling the soil brings up lots of dormant seeds that sprout, most just don't like repeated mowing.

    For those that do survive there are "weed n feed" type products that work well, just make sure that the lawn is mature enough, many or most products require the lawn to be a year old at least to prevent damaging newly planted grass.
