Wilson was instrument­al in helping Derby recover from a poor start. They were behind after just 54 seconds to a Henrik Dalsgaard header.

But Wilson slotted home the equaliser and his first goal in a Derby shirt, before David Nugent put the hosts in front. Wilson was then tripped for Mason Mount to curl home a stunning free-kick. “I was desperate to get off the mark. So to do that was great and I’m now looking forward to getting more,” said Wilson.

“It was a good feeling when it went in. I’m here because I wanted to play in an attacking team that plays good football. I want to show Jurgen that I can play in a free-flowing team against good sides.

“Going out on loan can only be a positive. I feel playing in a competitiv­e league – week in, week out – prepares you for hopefully going back to your parent club and playing in the Premier League.

“It’s a joy to play in this team, with the quality we’ve got. We know if we can get our passing going, and the movement, we’ve got more than enough to hurt every team.”

Manager Frank Lampard (left) thinks he will be a great signing for the club. Lampard said: “Harry looked dangerous every time he was on the ball. He has energy and quality, all the things you want from a player. He’s hungry, wants to do well here, and I love that about him.”

Brentford had suffered only one defeat prior to their trip to Pride Park, but Lewis Macleod admitted it was a bad day at the office. He said: “It was nice to get off to a good start, but we had a bad 15 minutes after that and, ultimately, it wasn’t good enough.”
