Brighton attacker Kaoru Mitoma has become the most successful Japanese player in Premier League history. With his strike in victory at Manchester United on Sunday, it marked Mitoma 's 15th goal in the Premier League.
Mitoma is now the outright highest-scoring Japanese player in Premier League history, with 15 goals, moving one clear of former Leicester City striker Shinji Okazaki.
