In England, youngster Sullay Kaikai made his long awaited Premier League debut for Crystal Palace in Sunday’s 4-1 defeat at the hands of Southampton. The 20-year-old came in as a second half substitute for Jordan James Mutch in the 46th minute.
Despite not scoring, Kaikai took plenty of personal satisfaction from his debut as he took the corner from which Jason Puncheon netted the Eagles' only goal and tested Fraser Forster with a volley with a header from the top corner.
After the match, the youngster tweeted: “A dream come true, thank you to CPFC for handing me my premier league debut! Proud moment for me, my family and loved once.”

Kamara fired a game-high with six shots and was an undeniable menace in the final third for the Revolution and coach Jay Heaps was actually most impressed with the forward's attention which helped New England secure a 2-0 win.
