Harry Wilson did Fernando Torres’ ‘five times’ celebration after his goal against Manchester United

Already known as the 'Scouse Torres' by some Liverpool fans, the midfielder mimicked his lookalike when his free-kick for Derby County flew in at Old Trafford

“Every Liverpool fan, every Liverpool player wants to go to Old Trafford and win every time," Harry Wilson said ahead of Derby County's memorable night in the Carabao Cup.

The Rams didn't just beat Manchester United on their own turf, but the 21-year-old scored a sensational free-kick to cap off a wonderful night for the away support - and every Kopite around the world.

On loan from Anfield at Pride Park, Wilson had been speaking about the prospect of facing his parent club's rivals in addition to being labelled the 'Scouse Torres' due to his resemblance to the former Reds striker.

“To be fair I’ve had that quite a lot on social media,” he said.

“I don’t see it personally but I think a lot of fans do.

“I’d be delighted if I could achieve half of what he’s done, with his goal-scoring record and the trophies he’s won as well.”

And after his free-kick flew past Sergio Romero, Wilson even channelled Torres' 'five times' celebration - a reference to the number of European Cups Liverpool have won compared to Man United's two triumphs.

After the game Derby manager Frank Lampard, who played under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea said: "I am trying to build a group to be successful and nights like this are incredible. To go against world-class players and play that way, it's right up there (with his list of achievements).

"To go down early at Old Trafford and play as well as they did was superb. We had the personality to take penalties and play the way we did."
