The forward has spoken out about the game he had last night against the Citizens and said that he still needs to get used to the league.

"It was a difficult game but we did our best. We tried to create chances but it was difficult to do that. We have to grow from this," said Tau.

The 27-year-old also said that he still needs some time to get used to his teammates at Brighton so that his time there can be a success.

"I need to adjust to the team and the league. With time I will get better as I understand the way the coach wants me to play more," he said.
