HARRY WILSON channelled his inner Fernando Torres after scoring a sensational strike in Derby’s stunning win at Old Trafford.
The winger scored one of the goals of the season as the Rams came from behind to knock Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup on penalties.
From around 30-yards out, the 21-year-old’s free-kick flew into the top corner leaving Sergio Romero rooted to the spot.
Wheeling away in celebration, the Liverpool loanee celebrated in the exact same way that Torres used to do when he scored against United.
He held his hand in the air showing the home fans the number five – a reference aimed at mocking United supporters.
The celebration symbolises the amount of times Liverpool have won the European Cup with the Red Devils only lifting the famous trophy on three occasions.
His remarkable goal fired Derby level after Juan Mata’s early opener.
Jack Marriott then thought he had won it in normal time, 18 minutes after Romero was shown a straight red card for a handball outside the box.
But Marouane Fellaini ensured the game would to go spot-kicks with a back post header in the 95th minute.
Defender Phil Jones missed the decisive penalty to hand Frank Lampard a famous victory over Jose Mourinho.

Speaking after the game, Wilson said of his strike: “It was one of them so it was a bit far out to curl it, I put my laces through it and it was nice.
“I try and do it in training. We were disappointed to concede early but I thought we grew into the game.
“I know we are a good team. We knew we wanted to come here, play our football and go toe-to-toe with United and we came out on top.”
