'Delighted' - Alexander Isak & Bruno Guimaraes issue message to Newcastle United teammate

Osula’s late header from Kieran Trippier’s corner saw Newcastle climb back to third in the Premier League table while Ipswich were relegated to the Championship.

It was the 21-year-old’s second goal of the season after his strike in the 3-1 FA Cup third round win against Bromley back in January. Osula joined Newcastle from Sheffield United following a £10million arrival last summer.

Alexander Isak and Dan Burn also found the net as Newcastle look to secure Champions League qualification heading into their final four matches of the season. Next up for Newcastle is a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion before hosting Chelsea at St James’ Park.

After a trip to Arsenal, Newcastle end the 2024-25 campaign with a home match against Everton on May 25.

Eddie Howe reacts to Will Osula Newcastle United goal

Osula was brought off the bench in the closing stages of Newcastle’s win over Ipswich. The Denmark Under-21 international played on the right wing for the closing stages, scoring a looping header in the 80th minute of the match.

“We think he's improved,” Howe said on Osula’s performance. “But obviously the acid test will be when he performs on the pitch and in the team. And today I thought he was excellent.

“He came on at right wing, which is a totally different position. I know it's obvious, but it's a totally different position and different skill set to playing as a nine.

“But I thought he looked a real threat. He looked quick and athletic. And the goal I thought was an outstanding finish. He's 6'3", verging on 6'4". So he needs to be a physical presence. He needs to use his aerial skills. Delighted that he got his first Premier League goal.”
