Percy Tau: Brighton & Hove Albion confirm plans for South Africa star from Anderlecht

Cast your mind back to October, if you can. Liverpool were already stretching their lead at the top of the Premier League, Manchester City were looking beatable and a young exciting Chelsea were quietly churning out impressive results, largely thanks to the form of Tammy Abraham.

Kakuta scores as Lens hold Moses Simon-less Nantes

Don't panic folks. Harry Kane is still at it. Despite not having his most successful season - largely due to injuries - he has still clocked up 15 Premier League goals, and the most recent two he's scored have taken him past 200 club career goals.
