Harry Wilson has admitted that his two stoppage-time goals that claimed Fulham’s 2-1 win over Brentford were not what he intended.
The Welshman was brought on by Marco Silva in the 82nd minute with Fulham trailing, and had an incredible impact, flicking in Adama Traore’s cross from the rightto level the scores before converting Antonee Robinson’s centre from the left, with the ball coming off his shoulder.
“They both went in but not how I would have wanted!” Wilson said. “The first one I just helped it on to the back post and the second one was more lucky.
“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 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.”
