African Stars Shine Across Europe: Mbeumo Nets for Manchester United

Posted : 20 October 2025

Cameroon’s Bryan Mbeumo scored his first Manchester United goal since August as the club beat Liverpool.

Cameroon striker Bryan Mbeumo marked a milestone for Manchester United by scoring his first goal for the club since August in a 2-1 Premier League victory at Liverpool over the weekend. The 26-year-old, signed from Brentford during the close season, opened the scoring just 61 seconds into the match, helping United secure their first league win at Anfield since 2016. Mbeumo skillfully bypassed Virgil van Dijk before slotting the ball past goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, assisted by Ivory Coast winger Amad Diallo.

Liverpool equalized through Cody Gakpo in the 78th minute, but Harry Maguire’s decisive header six minutes later clinched back-to-back league wins for United under Ruben Amorim. The result also marked a historic moment for Liverpool, who suffered four consecutive defeats in all competitions for the first time in 11 years.

In Germany, Ivorian teenager Bazoumana Toure continued his breakthrough season for Hoffenheim, scoring nine minutes into the second half as the club defeated St Pauli 3-0. The 19-year-old finished a well-crafted team move with a low shot that ricocheted off the far post, helping Hoffenheim climb to eighth in the Bundesliga standings.

France saw several African players make a mark in Ligue 1. Moroccan Sofiane Diop and Algerian Hicham Boudaoui scored for Nice in a 3-2 win over Lyon, with Diop putting the hosts ahead a second time before Boudaoui extended the lead early in the second half.

Senegal-born Sambou Soumano rescued a point for Lorient, scoring in the 89th minute to secure a 3-3 draw against Brest after the match saw several lead changes. Lassine Sinayoko also impressed for Auxerre, converting a second-half penalty to earn a 2-2 draw at Rennes, bouncing back from the disappointment of Mali failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

African footballers continue to influence top European leagues, with Mbeumo, Toure, Diop, Boudaoui, Soumano, and Sinayoko all contributing vital goals for their respective clubs, highlighting the continent’s growing impact on the global game.
