Harry Wilson may not have scored the goals he would have wanted to, but says it was an “amazing feeling” to come on and win Fulham’s match against Brentford.
The Welshman was brought on by Marco Silva in the 82nd minute with Fulham trailing, and he had an incredible impact after coming on as he scored both goals in stoppage time.
“They both went in but not how I would have wanted! The first one I just helped it on to the back post and the second one was more lucky,” Wilson said after the match.
“A crazy ending. I thought we played pretty well in the game, their goal was a great strike but we didn’t deserve to go in behind. We struggled with the final ball and they defended well.
“The manager told me to find space and when the ball gets wide try and get in the box and that’s what I did.
“We kept the pressure on. Most of the second half we spent in our attacking third, we really penned them in. We thought if we kept doing that we’d get a chance.
“It was an amazing feeling to come on and get the two goals to win the game. We deserved it, we kept them pinned in throughout.
“I asked the referee how long we had left. There were four minutes left, we knew there’d be another chance. We didn’t stop believing.”
‘A deserved win’
Fulham head coach Marco Silva echoed Wilson’s words, saying that his side were worthy winners against Brentford.
“It was definitely a deserved win. We started on the front foot and dominated all game. In the first 20 minutes we had two clear chances to score,” Silva said to BBC Sport.
“After they scored we didn’t lose the confidence and the trust in ourselves, we kept pushing them back and we created enough to not be losing at half-time.
“I told the players this is football, it can happen, but we have to keep pushing, working hard and playing our way.
“It was late, it should’ve been much [more] before, but that’s football.”
