Harry Wilson scored a wonderful free-kick for Championship giants Derby County on Tuesday, showing why Premier League Liverpool rate him so highly.
Liverpool fans would have been celebrating as deliriously as their Derby counterparts when Harry Wilson produced arguably the greatest free-kick scored at Old Trafford since Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday night.
The on-loan Reds forward stunned Manchester United with a quite glorious long-range strike in the midweek EFL Cup clash, setting Derby on their way to a famous win in only the 12th game of Frank Lampard’s burgeoning managerial career.
This capped a wonderful couple of days for Wilson, who has put injury problems behind him and started to showcase his talent in Derby colours. Just three days before his heroics at the Theatre of Dreams, Wilson scored his first Rams goal in a 3-1 Championship win against Brentford.
And the 21-year-old’s progress will not go unnoticed at Anfield. Wilson has made just one first-team appearance for Liverpool, coming in an FA Cup clash against Plymouth, but the Merseyside giants currently believe he is on the right track in his development, according to ESPN.
As Derby have no option to sign Wilson permanently at the end of his loan spell, ESPN adds, you can expect that the gifted attacking will return to Anfield next year ready to fight for his place in Jurgen Klopp’s first-team.
More goals like that one away at Manchester United will stand him in good stead.
