Newcastle hero William Osula celebrates winning goal against Man United with a Nigerian ‘ogbono soup’ delicacy
The forward emerged as the hero at St. James' Park, scoring a late goal to hand Manchester United a dramatic defeat and end their recent run of good form.
The Red Devils arrived in Newcastle with six wins in their last seven matches, but they were unable to overcome a resilient home side.
The match was a tense affair, with Anthony Gordon opening the scoring for Newcastle from the penalty spot in the first half after being fouled by Bruno Fernandes.

Born in Denmark to a Danish mother and a Nigerian-French father, Osula is eligible to represent multiple nations but has openly embraced his Nigerian heritage, often referring to himself as a "Naija boy".
The video shows the striker, who is currently on loan at Newcastle from Sheffield United, expertly cooking the traditional soup.
Ogbono is a popular dish in Nigeria, particularly in the southeastern region, and is made from ground wild African mango seeds.
Osula's teammate, Joe Willock, also appeared in the video, praising the forward's cooking as they enjoyed the meal with pounded yam.
