  "account": "Cameroonian striker Bryan Mbeumo showcased his goal-scoring prowess as Manchester United secured a 2-2 draw with Everton in the Premier League. The 27-year-old netted a solo goal in the 46th minute, evading goalkeeper Jordan Pickford with a powerful shot. This was Mbeumo's second goal in three games for United this season, following his 5-2 victory against Ipswich Town. In the Spanish La Liga, Ivorian winger Nicolas Pepe scored twice, opening the scoring for Villarreal against Deportivo La Coruna. The former Arsenal player's second goal came courtesy of a clever curling finish as Deportivo's goalkeeper failed to reach the ball. Moroccan forward Bilal El Khannouss put Stuttgart ahead against Cologne with a well-executed solo goal, nutmegging two defenders before slotting low into the net.",
