Bafana Bafana star Percy Tau’s stock continues to rise after he produced a match-winning display as he provided an assist and bagged a late winner to fire Union Saint-Gilloise from two goals down to a 3-2 victory, writes DEAN WORKMAN.
Percy Tau
Brighton loanee Tau saw his side trail for much of the encounter against Tubize after an own goal in the eighth minute and a 70th-minute strike gave the away side a two-goal lead.
Tau’s team, however, turned things around after Union Saint-Gilloise pulled a goal back with 10 minutes to play. The 2017-18 Absa Premiership Footballer of the Year then turned on the magic as he assisted the equaliser before scoring a stoppage-time winner to fire his side to second in the Belgian second division.
Tau is making a real impact at the club and will certainly be turning some heads with his performances.

Lebogang Phiri
The midfielder was an unused substitute as his Guingamp side battled out to a 1-1 draw against Strasbourg in the French top flight. The point, however, was not enough to lift Phiri’s side off the bottom of the table.
Dino Ndlovu
The Bafana Bafana forward scored his 19th goal of the season for Chinese second-tier club Zhejiang Greentown as his first-half penalty was enough to guide his team to a 1-0 win over Meizhou Meixian Techand and keep his side in prime position for promotion as they sit second on the table.
