Roy Keane slams 'ridiculous' thing Newcastle United star did v West Ham United
Will Osula scored twice as Newcastle United beat West Ham United 3-1 at St James’ Park.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane wasn’t impressed by Will Osula’s dance moves during Newcastle United’s 3-1 win over West Ham United.
Nick Woltemade marked his 50th appearance for Newcastle with his first St James’ Park goal since December to open the scoring in the 15th minute.
Osula then quickly doubled the Magpies’ lead when he latched onto a through ball by Jacob Ramsey to slot the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.
The young Dane wheeled away in celebration before slipping on a white glove and whipping out some dance moves in tribute to Pop legend Michael Jackson.
Roy Keane blasts ‘ridiculous’ Will Osula celebration
Plenty saw the funny side. Keane, however, didn’t, as he questioned whether it was appropriate following what has been a “poor season” for Newcastle.
“It’s unbelievable, it’s ridiculous,” Keane told Sky Sports. “I know we want young players to enjoy it and you scored a goal or whatever, but to do all that after a really poor season.
“It’s not a bad little move, don’t get me wrong! He can move the kid but time and a place. He can do that in a nightclub tonight in Newcastle.”
Will Osula is a striker in form
Osula went on to score again in the second half as he increased his tally to five goals in his last six Premier League matches.
The 22-year-old will end the campaign as Newcastle’s first choice striker having previously been behind Nick Woltemade, Yoane Wissa and Anthony Gordon in the pecking order.
“I think Will, just firstly as a character, he is very, very unique,” said Howe. “He's a good mover, you can see that when he scores.
“He's got a real character about him. He loves life. He loves football. That energy is sort of endless with him when he's around the training ground.
“For us, sometimes it's getting him to really focus on the details and the job that he needs to do because as I said, the responsibility of being Newcastle number nine is big.
“I think there's rough edges to smoothing off, but he does have a great product and we really do appreciate his skills.”
