Manchester United striker Bryan Mbeumo continued his hot streak, scoring his fourth goal in four games as he opened the scoring in a 2-2 Premier League draw at Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend. The 26-year-old Cameroon international now turns his focus to the 2026 World Cup African play-offs, with Cameroon facing the Democratic Republic of Congo on Thursday in Rabat. A win would set up a final against Gabon or Nigeria for a chance at the inter-continental play-offs next March.
England:
Bryan Mbeumo (Manchester United): Mbeumo netted his sixth goal of the season, heading past Tottenham keeper Guglielmo Vicario from a cross by Amad Diallo. After a slow start following his mid-year move from Brentford, the Cameroon forward is finding his rhythm.
Idrissa Gueye (Everton): The Senegalese midfielder scored early in stoppage time to spark Everton’s 2-0 win over Fulham, already surpassing last season’s tally of zero goals.
Ibrahim Sangare (Nottingham Forest): Sangare opened the scoring in Forest’s 3-1 win against Leeds, marking his first goal for the club since joining from PSV Eindhoven in 2023.
Germany:
Yan Diomande (RB Leipzig): The Ivorian teenager scored early in Leipzig’s 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim, continuing a three-week scoring streak alongside three assists.
France:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Marseille): The Gabon captain scored off Matt O’Riley’s cross in Marseille’s 3-0 win over Brest, temporarily moving the club to the top of Ligue 1.
Mamadou Sangare (Lens): The Mali midfielder scored in added time to help Lens secure a 4-1 victory at Monaco, remaining third in the league.
African players continue to make their mark across Europe, showcasing goal-scoring prowess and influencing key results in the major leagues.
