Here we go one of Fulham player will want to play Brentford every week!
Marco Silva says Harry Wilson will “want to play Brentford every week” after he stung the Bees for a second time this season with the winner in Fulham’s 3-2 west London derby victory at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Wilson, who had his contract extended until next summer this week and also scored a stoppage-time double in Fulham’s 2-1 win over Brentford in November, replicated his heroics with a stunning long-range strike in the 70th minute.
Raul Jimenez’s opener put the visitors ahead before Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo both scored their 19th goals of the Premier League campaign.
Mbeumo had a chance to claim his 20th but his first-half penalty was saved by Bernd Leno.
Tom Cairney came off the bench to nod in the equaliser moments before Wilson added the Cottagers’ third.
“He’s an important player and a very good player for us,” Silva said of Wilson.
“Of course the feeling for him against Brentford is fantastic and he’s probably thinking right now, ‘why don’t I play against Brentford every week?’.
“We knew we could do it today in a special game and in a derby. Their frontline has nearly 50 goals in the Premier League. We knew we had to be strong to be in control of the situation.”
