Percy Tau has been given the thumbs up after his debut in English football.

The South Africa forward looked lively after going on as sub for Albion in their FA Cup tie at Newport.

Tau replaced Alireza Jahanbakhsh in the 71st minute.

He produced some clever footwork on a couple of occasions and was clearly keen to make an impression.

Tau was one of three available outfield players who did not take a penalty for Albion in the shoot out.

STEELE IS SHOOT OUT HERO

Head coach Graham Potter said: “He did well.

“We will get to know him better and he will get to know us better.

“I’m pleased with his performance and contribution.”
