Former Liverpool star Harry Wilson celebrates after scoring at Anfield

Harry Wilson came back to haunt Liverpool on Sunday afternoon by scoring at Anfield.

The Wales international first joined the Reds in 2005 as a youngster and remained at the club until 2022, at which point he was sold to Fulham on a permanent basis.


Wilson made his mark at academy level for Liverpool on multiple occasions, though struggled for first-team opportunities due to the strength in depth in attacking areas during his time at the club.

Since signing for Fulham, the 26-year-old played a key role in the Cottagers sealing a return to the Premier League and has been an astute purchase at a price of £12million.


Wilson made his first appearance against the Reds in a 1-0 defeat at Anfield back in March and was unable to make his mark on proceedings. This was not the case this afternoon, however, with the winger scoring in front of the Kop to peg Jurgen Klopp's side back to 1-1.

After sending a near post finish past Caoimhin Kelleher, the Fulham star opted against celebrating as a show of respect for his former side. This did not go unnoticed among the Liverpool fan base, who praised the set-piece specialist for this decision on social media.

Explaining why he felt a full-time exit from Anfield was required, Wilson told GOAL in 2022: "I know now that I will be at a club that I will be at for the next few years after a permanent move. That was what I wanted. I wanted somewhere to settle down off the pitch so I can enjoy it on the pitch.

"My first season here has been great, the club has been great with me, I settled in well with my teammates and set me up for a fantastic year."
