Harry Wilson does it again as Derby smash West Brom

Liverpool loan star Harry Wilson has done it again as Derby Count beat West Brom 4-1 at the Hawthorns.

Wilson scored and assisted as the Rams hit four unanswered goals before Jay Rodriguez pulled one back for the home side, but it was far too late at that point.

The attacker has hit the headlines recently for his tremendous free kick against Manchester United, before repeating the feat as Wales beat the Republic of Ireland 1-0.

And now Wilson has brought that rich vein of form to the Championship as he collected a pass from Jack Marriott and smoked one in from well outside the penalty area.

Derby manager Frank Lampard chose to play the 21-year-old as part of a midfield three and he started alongside Tom Huddlestone and Mason Mount. Wilson has now scored four goals and picked up one assist in his last 10 games for club and country

While that doesn’t match the seven in 11 ferocity of his time at Hull City, it’s encouraging for a player who was sent to the Championship to learn his trade, develop as a footballer and come back to Liverpool ready to challenge for a place in the first team.

The victory puts Lampard’s side in fifth place, just two points behind league leaders Leeds United. The Baggies remain in fourth position and are above the Rams on goal difference alone. It’s characteristically tight in the Championship and just six points separate first from Queens Park Rangers in 13th.

Wilson has featured in nine out of County’s 14 games, but it appears as if his influence in the squad is growing with each passing week. The youngster has started six out of the Ram’s last eight games and it seems like his first XI place is his to lose.

Derby take on Middlesbrough on Saturday, before facing Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening. It’ll be Halloween, but can Wilson cause a scare?
