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".
