Newcastle's Osula stayed late to practice winning goal, Howe says

"Will asked after training yesterday for 10 more balls. He wanted 10 more finishes and a carbon copy of the goal he scored today. He scored eight out of 10. That's all credit to the player because he wanted it, he wanted to do more before he went in. I'm a great believer in 'do the work, you get the reward'."

"There was a moment where I thought he was going to run out of grass and it's going to go out of play. I think he does really well to keep it in. I'm not trying to be wise after the event, in that moment you back Will's ability. That's one of his biggest strengths, running with the ball, his pace."

"A massive win for us. I think we needed it. We know we needed it. It's been a tough run for us in the Premier League. I think some of our performances haven't been too bad in recent games, but we've found a way to lose games."

Newcastle United defeated Manchester United 2-1 at St James' Park in a dramatic encounter. Manchester United's Jacob Ramsey received a second yellow card for a diving incident in the first half, leaving the visitors with ten men. Anthony Gordon opened the scoring from a penalty, but Casemiro equalized late in stoppage time. William Osula, a 22-year-old substitute, secured victory with a solo goal showcasing pace and skill. Manager Eddie Howe revealed Osula had requested extra training the previous day, specifically practicing ten finishing attempts identical to the goal he would score. Osula successfully converted eight of those ten practice shots, demonstrating the value of dedicated preparation and work ethic.
