  "account": "Cameroon forward Bryan Mbeumo broke his four-game goalless streak by scoring for Manchester United in a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. At Old Trafford, Mbeumo netted a precise finish from an acute angle in the 73rd minute, only for Dominic Solanke to level matters in stoppage time. This result marked United's sole league triumph in six games this season. Nicolas Jackson, playing for Aston Villa, became the Senegal striker's third goal of the campaign, equalising in the 12th minute before Villa conceded a late equaliser. In Spain, Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande marked his debut for Real Madrid with a goal, contributing to a 1-0 victory over Villarreal. Diomande started on the left flank, replacing Vinicius Junior, and put the ball past the goalkeeper with a well-placed shot. Bayern Munich's German international Ismael Saibari also scored his first goal for the club in a 2-2 draw against Union Berlin. Saibari equalised for Bayern just before halftime after a mistake allowed the visitors to take an early lead. Later in Germany, Hamburg striker Terem Moffi scored his first Bundesliga goal, coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute to head in an equaliser for the visitors after a howler conceded to Union Berlin.",
