Harry Wilson finally got off the mark for Derby County on Saturday as his temporary employers beat Brentford 3-1.
The Welshman has only managed four league appearances for the Rams since joining the club from Liverpool in the summer in search of regular senior football.
Derby’s win at the weekend marked only Wilson’s second appearance and first start since missing five Championship fixtures due to an injury picked up in August.
A bright impression upon his return to the starting eleven included a first goal for the club as he finished off a swift counterattacking move.
Wilson unleashed the run of Craig Bryson from the halfway line, before continuing his own burst to calmly slot home the return pass from his teammate.
