Newcastle United’s striker William Osula stole the show last night against Manchester United, not just on the pitch but in the kitchen too.
The 22-year-old came off the bench to curl a stunning goal past Manchester United’s keeper and secure a win for the home side. But Osula’s Nigerian roots shone off the pitch, too. A video has surfaced showing him making Ogbono soup from scratch, a traditional South-Eastern Nigerian dish made from ground wild African mango seeds.
Teammate Joe Willock also shared in the feast, praising Osula’s cooking skills as they enjoyed the meal together. Fans were quick to celebrate not only his goal but his mastery of the popular Nigerian soup.
Osula, who calls himself a ‘naija boy’ and even speaks a bit of pidgin, seems to be winning hearts both on and off the field.
