Newcastle United defeated Manchester United 1-0 at St James' Park on Wednesday. William Osula scored the decisive goal in the second half to secure three points for the home side. The result moves Newcastle into eighth place in the Premier League table, according to the official Premier League website.
Osula previously won a Manchester United skills competition at the age of 11, per Sky Sports. The Denmark under-21 international joined Newcastle from Sheffield United in August 2024 for an undisclosed fee. He has since made 15 appearances for the club during the 2025-26 campaign.
Manchester United remain in sixth position following the defeat. The visitors failed to equalise despite late pressure, leaving them five points behind the Champions League qualification places. Manager Eddie Howe praised the discipline of the Newcastle defence after the match, noting the importance of the clean sheet in the race for European football. Newcastle next face Crystal Palace, while Manchester United travel to London to play West Ham United.
