The Senegal striker was one of the scorers, as the blue-blacks achieved a massive victory over their fierce rivals.

Krepin Diatta found the back of the net when Club Brugge achieved a comfortable 3-0 win over Anderlecht in Sunday’s highly anticipated Belgian Jupiler League game, with Percy Tau playing from start to finish against his former club.

The Purples and Whites had an undefeated start to the season prior to this match, winning three matches and drawing four, including their last match against Eupen which ended 1-1.

Tau has always been around for Vincent Kompany’s side since joining on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion, scoring two goals that came in a 3-1 win over St. Truiden and a 2-2 draw in Oostende.

Meanwhile, Bruges got off to a bad start to the season, losing two of their first three games. They have been in cruise control after that setback with back-to-back victories against Waasland-Beveren, Zulte Waregem and city rivals Cercle Brugge.

Diatta was the man who put them ahead at Jan Breydel Stadium with his goal in the 23rd minute, assisted by Hans Vanaken. The Senegalese international raised his season tally to four after scoring a double against Eupen and the other against Cercle.

Philippe Clement’s men carried that lead into the break and made it 2-0 just two minutes after the restart with Vanaken scoring from the penalty spot.

Anderlecht was reduced to 10 men after Franco-Congolese midfielder Albert-Mboyo Sambi Lokonga received a second yellow card for his attack on Charles de Ketelaere in the 72nd minute.

Club Brugge still had time for one more goal and got it in the fourth minute of added time courtesy of Dutch midfielder Ruud Vormer.

Nigerian duo Emmanuel Dennis and David Okereke started on the Bruges bench and entered in the 75th and 86th minute respectively for Senegalese teenager Youssouph Badji and Vanaken.

Club Brugge move one point behind Jupiler League leaders Charleroi, who play Standard Liege later on Sunday, while Anderlecht have slipped to seventh place and are six points off the top.
