William Osula scored Newcastle's decisive goal against Manchester United, a decade after winning a United skills contest at age 11. The 22-year-old's late strike secured a 2-1 victory for the Magpies at St James' Park, adding another chapter to his remarkable journey from Copenhagen to the Premier League.

Born in Denmark, Osula joined Sheffield United's youth academy in 2018 and represented Denmark's Under-21 team. His move to Newcastle came in summer 2024 from the Blades, where he's been used primarily as a substitute. Wednesday's goal marked only his third in 30 Premier League appearances for Newcastle, with 29 of those outings coming from the bench.

The timing of Osula's winner has sparked renewed interest in his childhood connection to United, with social media posts from his 2013 skills contest victory resurfacing after the match. His goal not only secured three points for Newcastle but also highlighted the unpredictable nature of football careers.
