Roy Keane has had his say on William Osula after the Newcastle United forward scored a brace against West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday
Roy Keane left the Sky Sports studio in stitches after blasting Newcastle United forward William Osula for his goalscoring celebration during Sunday’s 3-1 win over West Ham. The Dane celebrated in style after doubling his side’s lead against the Hammers in their final home game of the season.
Osula raced onto a through ball from Jacob Ramsey before finishing off a flowing Newcastle move. His strike followed Nick Woltemade’s opener for Eddie Howe‘s side at St. James’ Park.
And the 22-year-old produced a pre-planned routine to celebrate his sixth Premier League goal of the season. Osula was thrown a white glove before being mobbed by his teammates in front of the corner flag.
Keane reacted to the moves while working for Sky Sports alongside presenter Mark Chapman and fellow pundit Micah Richards.
He said: “I mean it’s not a bad little move, don’t get me wrong.”
His deadpan delivery left Chapman and Richards in stitches. He added: “He can move, the kid, but time and a place. He can do that in a nightclub tonight in Newcastle.”
It would not be Osula’s final goal of the game, though, as he grabbed his second and Newcastle’s third in the 64th minute. A wonder strike by Taty Castellanos proved to be a mere consolation for West Ham, who could now be relegated if Tottenham Hotspur win at Chelsea on Tuesday night.
The brace takes Osula’s tally for the season to nine goals across all competitions for Howe’s team. He has now scored six goals in his last seven Premier League appearances, dating back to his strike against Manchester United on March 4.
Meanwhile, Howe has revealed there were some emotional scenes during the Magpies’ lap of appreciation at St James’ Park on Sunday.
As the players went off for one final time in the 2025/26 season, it will prove the last shift at St James’ for both Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth.
But two other members of Howe’s squad will be leaving as the boss confirmed the exit of long-serving doctor Paul Catterson, who arrived with Alan Shearer as manager in 2009, and goalkeeper Max Thompson, who has been released at the end of his contract.
Howe said in his press conference: “I think every time we have walked around at the end of the season it has been a really nice moment. Just to stop and reflect on the season’s work.
“And of course today was slightly different because we are focusing on Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth and Paul Catterson and Max Thompson.
“They are people who will leave us that have done a really great job for us. On and off the pitch, they have given incredible service to the club, and we are going to miss them.
“They have been a big part of our lives. In football, nothing stays the same; everything changes so quickly, so I think that was a nice moment for them.”
