Percy Tau's English Premier League dream has finally come true as Brighton Hove & Albion coach Graham Potter names the Witbank-born attacker in the line-up against Manchester City on Wedenesday night.
As reported here on Futaa on Monday, the 26-year-old Tau played his first Brighton game as a substitute in the 1-1 draw against lower division side Newport County in the FA Cup, a game that the Sea Gulls eventually won on penalties.
But the big night Tau and the nation of South African has been waiting for later this evening at the Etihad.

Tau will be the first South African to play a Premier League game since Tokelo Rantie represented Bournemouth back in the 2014/15 season.
Match kick is 20:00 on SuperSport 203 Premier League.
