Derby County - or as they are more commonly known: Frank Lampard's Derby - have attracted all the plaudits this season, for their slick, possession based style of football. A good blend of youth and experience in their side has seen them climb to the familiar heights of the play-offs, which has so often proven to be the toughest obstacle for them to overcome.
If they are to make it out of the Championship this season, they might need a moment of magic. Something special out of the blue. Luckily, they have someone who is rather good at producing those moments on a regular basis: Harry Wilson.
The Liverpool loanee has now scored nine goals this season from midfield, most of them either wonder-strikes or free-kicks.
This was no different. Derby, trailing after David McGoldrick had given Sheffield United the lead, Wilson stepped up to bend a free-kick home with absolute precision, arrowing the ball across the goalkeeper into the final corner.
