Omar Marmoush's impressive form continued as he scored a brace for Manchester City in their 3-1 FA Cup win over Newcastle United, marking the second time this season he has achieved this feat against the Magpies.

n

This accomplishment comes on the heels of his two goals in the League Cup semi-final second leg victory over Newcastle last month, with the 27-year-old Egyptian showcasing his skills once again.

n

Mohamed Salah also had a notable weekend, scoring the second goal in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, adding to the success of Egyptian stars in the FA Cup.

n

In the match against Newcastle, Manchester City initially trailed due to Harvey Barnes' first-half goal, but Savinho equalized just before half-time, setting the stage for Marmoush's goals.

n

Marmoush, filling in for the injured Erling Haaland, scored his first goal by tapping in Matheus Nunes' cross after 47 minutes and then converted another Nunes delivery in the 65th minute, bringing his total goals for City this season to six.

n

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's captain, scored his ninth goal of the season in the win over Wolves, with the 33-year-old having a history of scoring against the bottom-of-the-table team.

n

Salah had previously scored in Liverpool's shock 2-1 defeat at Molineux on March 3 and repeated this feat in the FA Cup tie three days later, slotting home from Andrew Robertson's cross in the 53rd minute.

n

In Spain, Akor Adams continued his strong form in 2026 by opening the scoring in Sevilla's 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano, nodding home from close range in the 13th minute.

n

Adams, who also netted against the same opponents for his first goal for the club last September, has scored four goals in his last eight matches, demonstrating his consistent performance.

n

In Germany, Serhou Guirassy kept up his recent scoring form, scuffing in from close range to break the deadlock in a 2-1 Bundesliga win at Cologne, with the Guinea international having scored six goals in his last six league games.

n

Guirassy latched onto Maximilian Beier's header to poke home after Cologne failed to fully clear a corner, with 16 minutes gone in the match.

n

Yan Diomande scored for the third time in four matches in Leipzig's crucial 2-1 home win over Augsburg, with the Ivorian teenager beating Augsburg's Keven Schlotterbeck to the ball and holding off the advancing defence to calmly slot home the equaliser.

n

Diomande, who was playing in the fourth tier of US soccer just 18 months ago, has 10 goals and six assists in the league this season, showcasing his rapid growth as a player.

n

Nicolas Jackson stepped up in Harry Kane's absence, scoring a goal and creating another in Bayern Munich's 4-1 home win over Borussia Moenchengladbach, with the Senegal international winning a spot kick and later scoring his first league goal since November.

n

Jackson charged into the penalty area and won a spot kick when Gladbach's Rocco Reitz brought him down, and he later ran onto a Lennart Karl pass and tapped in from close range, highlighting his skills as a back-up striker.
