Punter wins 'bet of the season' after Harry Wilson's late winner against Brentford

One lucky punter has won big money after Fulham’s Harry Wilson netted a late winner against Brentford.

On Monday night, Marco Silva’s men welcomed London rivals Brentford to Craven Cottage in the Premier League.

German midfielder Vitaly Janelt’s fine strike in the 24th minute gave Thomas Frank’s men the lead.

In the second half, Fulham pushed for the equaliser but were faced with a stubborn Brentford defence.

Silva then decided to bring on Welshman Wilson in the 82nd minute in a bid to add more attacking options onto the pitch.

The decision proved to be a master stroke as Wilson netted in the 92nd and 97th minute to complete a stunning 2-1 comeback win.

Wilson was also booked in the closing stages, which led to one fan winning a huge bet.

Posting on social media afterwards, the punter showed off his bet slip. After putting £2.87 on a bet which had odds of 450/1, the punter won £1294.37.

The bet consisted of Wilson scoring two goals in the second half of the match and also being booked, which all happened in the stoppage time of the match.

To make the bet win even more incredible, it appears Wilson's booking came as a result of his elongated celebrations with the Craven Cottage crowd and the ex-Liverpool man was spotted in conversation with the referee at full-time presumably over the reason he was cautioned.

Speaking after the match, Wilson said: “It was an amazing feeling to come on and score the two goals to win us the game. Throughout the course of the game, I feel it was what we deserved. We penned them in during the second half.

“Marco told me to play in the pocket and try to find space in the box and that's what I tried to do for both goals. Both of them went in, maybe not quite as I'd have planned!”

He added: “The second goal was a bit luckier. I think it was meant to go the other way! It came off my shoulder but they all count.”
