  "account": "Algerian Mohamed Belloumi scored twice in the first half of Hull City's 2-2 draw against Chelsea, continuing the Tigers' impressive Premier League run back to the top flight after a 10-year absence. Both of Belloumi's goals benefited from deflections, with his second goal netting off multiple Chelsea defenders. In the same match, a 20-year-old Mali midfielder named Yalcouye scored Brighton's second goal in the 51st minute, marking his second goal of the season. Spanish striker Inaki Williams scored a late equalizer for Athletic Bilbao in their 1-1 draw with Elche, becoming the first goal scorer of the 2022-23 season for the club. Nigerian Akor Adams scored for Venezia in their 4-2 Serie A win against Fiorentina, despite a hat-trick from Fiorentina's Franco Mastantuono. Cameroonian Christian Kofane scored twice for Bayer Leverkusen in their 2-2 draw against Augsburg, but his goals were disallowed for offside. French midfielder Abdallah Sima scored a late header to trigger a Lens comeback in their 2-2 draw with Le Mans.",
