Michael Jackson and Spider-Man – two names that definitely weren’t on the Premier League bingo card on the penultimate weekend of the 2025-26 campaign.
However, thanks to Newcastle United striker William Osula and Sunderland midfielder Enzo le Fee, both made brief appearances in England’s top flight on Sunday.
Having doubled the Magpies’ lead in their 3-1 win against West Ham at St James’ Park, Osula wheeled away in celebration before being thrown a white glove from the side of the pitch.
Osula immediately put on the glove – which famously formed part of the King of Pop’s stage attire – before striking a number of Jackson’s many iconic poses.
At the Hill Dickinson Stadium earlier in the day, Le Fee wasn’t thrown a glove from the crowd, but a mask of the famous web-slinging superhero.
The 26-year-old – who had put Sunderland ahead for the first time in an eventual 3-1 victory – also posed for the cameras after donning his mask, imitating Spider-Man’s iconic web-shooting hand gesture.
Le Fee later told Match of the Day: “Since I was young, I’ve liked Spider-Man – my favourite hero with my little brother, so it’s a sign for him.
“I should’ve done the celebration a long time ago but I didn’t score. I was happy to score in front of our fans.”
