Harry Wilson has won November 2024's Guinness Goal of the Month award for his incredible flick for Fulham against Brentford.
Fulham were trailing 1-0 entering the second minute of second-half stoppage time when Wilson met Adama Traore's cross with an audacious midair backheel that looped over Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken and into the back of the net. It inspired a late turnaround as Wilson scored again in the seventh minute of added time to win the match 2-1.

“Obviously the goal was so important, in such a big game for us, for our fans, to get us back level,” Wilson told Fulham's official website. “I think it really gave us that belief that we could go on and win the game, and ultimately we did.
“That moment when it left my foot, it seemed to take forever to loop in. There was silence, and then the roar when it hit the net was amazing. That feeling will live with me for a long, long time.”
The 27-year-old becomes the first Fulham player to win the award since Willian's stunning solo strike against Nottingham Forest was voted Goal of the Month in February 2023. The other Fulham players to win the award since it was introduced in 2016/17 are Ola Aina (November 2020), Andre Schurrle (January 2019) and Jean Michael Seri (August 2018).
Wilson is also the first Welsh player to win the award since it was introduced in 2016/17.
He topped a seven-man shortlist after the public's votes were combined with those of a panel of football experts.
