The speedy attacker will be hoping his beautiful goal bodes well for more game time at the Seagulls
South Africa international Percy Tau scored a superb goal for Brighton & Hove Albion in a pre-season match on Saturday.
The left-footed attacker was on the scoresheet as the Seagulls claimed a 3-1 win over Championship outfit Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.
Tau went on a mazy run before dribbling past a defender and he fired into the far corner to extend his side’s lead and it proved to be the final goal of the match.
The first of many? 😏

It is the former Mamelodi Sundowns player’s first goal for Brighton. He had spent time with Belgian clubs Royale Union Saint Gilloise, Club Brugge, and RSC Anderlecht on loan before finally getting his chance in the Premier League.
Tau’s teammate Aaron Connolly opened the scoring to hand the Seagulls the lead against Luton. Brighton’s new signing Enock Mwepu – a Zambia international – doubled the visitors’ lead 10 minutes before half-time.
However, Luton managed to pull one back through Harry Cornick on the stroke of half-time and Brighton were leading 2-1 at the interval.
