African players in Europe: Mbeumo fires solo goal as United draw

Bryan Mbeumo, a Cameroonian striker for Manchester United, scored a remarkable solo goal against Everton during a 2-2 Premier League draw. This was Mbeumo's second goal in three games this season for the English club. Earlier in the match, he had scored in the 5-2 victory against Ipswich Town. In Spain, Nicolas Pepe, an Ivorian winger for Villarreal, opened the scoring with a decisive goal in a 3-2 La Liga defeat by Deportivo La Coruna.

Deportivo's leading goal scorer, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, played a pivotal role in the match, setting up goals for Luismi Cruz and Zakaria Eddahchouri and eventually scoring a fourth goal of his own. In Italy, Senegal winger Assane Diao, playing for Champions League qualifiers Como, scored a goal in each half as the team came from behind to defeat Genoa 4-1 in Serie A. Diao's first goal was a volley, while his second came from a shot into the corner of the net.

In Germany, Serhou Guirassy, a Guinea international playing for Borussia Dortmund, scored a goal and provided an assist in a 3-2 comeback Bundesliga win over Hoffenheim. Five minutes after equalizing, Guirassy set up Fabio Silva to equalize the score. Bilal El Khannouss, a Moroccan player for Stuttgart, scored a solo goal to help his team secure a 4-1 victory over Cologne in the Bundesliga.

El Khannouss's impressive solo goal stunned Cologne and set Stuttgart on the path to a dominant 4-1 win. In France, Ghana winger Ernest Nuamah, who missed the previous season due to a serious ankle injury, completed the scoring on 53 minutes for Lyon in a 3-1 Ligue 1 win over Auxerre. Nuamah's goal, along with setting up the opening goal, earned him the player-of-the-match award for the match.
