Newcastle's Super Eagles-eligible forward beats Iwobi to PL Goal of the Month

Newcastle United forward William Osula has been named the Premier League Goal of the Month winner for March.

Osula edged out Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson, Fulham's Alex Iwobi, Everton's Iliman Ndiaye, Manchester City's Bernardo Silva, and Aston Villa's John McGinn to win the monthly award.

The Nigeria-eligible youngster secured the award following his sensational 90th-minute winner against Manchester United. 

His achievement also marks a notable milestone for Newcastle, as Osula becomes the club’s first recipient of the award this season and the first since Alexander Isak won it in December 2024.

Alex Iwobi was also in contention after his superb goal against Tottenham Hotspur earned a nomination.

The midfielder produced a sublime instep finish from the edge of the box, a strike that ultimately proved decisive in securing victory for his side.

Iwobi was also shortlisted for the Premier League Player of the Month award, underlining his impressive run of form during the period.

However, that honour ultimately went to Bruno Fernandes, who emerged victorious after delivering a series of standout performances.

The Portuguese playmaker beat off competition from a strong shortlist that included Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Gordon, and David Raya.
