Osula was spinning away in joy after scoring his first-ever Newcastle United goal before Grant Smith had even considered diving. In a preseason friendly back in August, the former Sheffield United player was brutally denied a goal on his debut at St. James’ Park; but, his goal against Bromley was well worth the wait.Osula and how he would handle becoming the man to lead the line were major topics of discussion in the lead-up to Sunday’s game. Osula might have crumbled under the weight of Alexander Isak’s enormous shadow, but the Denmark Under-21 international rose to the occasion and played a strong 70-minute shift.

His goal was just wonderful and the ideal way to end his performance; Isak himself would have been happy to add it to his collection. When it’s his turn to show off what’s in his locker, his eventual replacement, Trevan Sanusi, will be eager to be the next young player to make an impression for the Magpies.Osula, on the other hand, has had to exercise patience this season and has watched Anthony Gordon step in ahead of him in an odd striker role even when Isak has been injured. Even if Osula must wait patiently for game time, it is evident that he has the mindset and the backing of his teammates and coaching staff to flourish at St. James’ Park.

Football is a patient sport. Osula stated after they defeated AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup in October. “In life, things don’t happen right away, so I’ll have to put in a lot of effort before my time comes.”Every time I’m called upon, I’m prepared to put up my best effort and work hard for the team here.Osula’s confidence will soar after he scores his first goal in black and white, and his strike will cause everyone in the football world to pay attention.Among those impressed by the goal was Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, who has previously been connected to a move to St James’ Park. He commented on Osula’s Instagram picture, saying, “That’s my boy.”
