African players in Europe: Mbeumo ends goal drought as United draw

Cameroon international Bryan Mbeumo broke his four-game goalless streak for Manchester United after netting a crucial equalizer in a 1-1 Premier League draw with Tottenham Hotspur. The 27-year-old striker put United ahead inside the penalty area during the 73rd minute but could not secure the win as Dominic Solanke equalized late on. Mbeumo had now scored three times this season, but United's winless run in the league continued with just one victory from six matches.

In the Spanish league, Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande scored his first goal for Real Madrid to secure a 1-0 victory over Villarreal. The 26-year-old had moved to Los Blancos as part of the $157 million transfer that saw Vinicius Junior depart.

Bayern Munich's playmaker Ismael Saibari notched his first goal for the club in a 2-2 draw with Augsburg. Saibari equalized in the second half after Manuel Neuer had gifted Augsburg the lead, marking his second goal in two games. The Moroccan winger also scored in a 7-0 trouncing of Union Berlin earlier in the week.

In Ligue 1, Guinea-Bissau winger Mama Balde scored a fourth goal for Brest in a 5-1 win over Angers. The 30-year-old had scored again in a 3-0 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying victory over Nigeria earlier in the month and added another in a mid-table Ligue 1 clash.
