Newcastle United’s recent Carabao Cup triumph over Liverpool not only ended a 70-year domestic trophy drought but also set the stage for jubilant celebrations among the players.
A video that has since gone viral captures the team’s exuberance, notably highlighting the dance moves of William Osula and Alexander Isak.
The clip, initially shared by Osula on his social media, showcases the squad dancing to Nigerian artist, Wizkid’s 2017 hit, “Show Me The Money.”
In the video, Osula, who has Nigerian roots, leads with energetic and authentic ‘Naija’ dance steps. His performance was so captivating that teammate Alexander Isak couldn’t resist joining in, attempting to emulate Osula’s moves.
Fans reacted with amusement and appreciation, particularly noting Isak’s earnest efforts to keep up with Osula’s rhythm.
The celebrations erupted following Newcastle’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. Defender Dan Burn opened the scoring with a brilliant header in the first half, marking a memorable moment shortly after his first England national team call-up under new head coach Thomas Tuchel.
Isak extended the lead in the second half, and although Liverpool’s Frederico Chiesa managed to pull one back, it wasn’t enough to deny Newcastle their historic win.
