Harry Wilson says Fulham want to finish as high up the Premier League as possible after smashing their 40-point Premier League target with eight games to spare.

The Welsh winger, recalled to the starting line up at Goodison Park yesterday, fired Fulham in front early in the second half with his first league goal of the season as the Whites ended a five-match losing streak with a second successive win at Everton.

Wilson told Fulham’s official website:

“Before the season started we set ourselves a target and I think we reached that today actually, so that’s good. It was a massive game for us. We’d not been on the best run of late and we knew coming here that it was a must-win game for them, but it was for us as well because we wanted to get back to the levels that we’ve been at for most of the season. For the last couple of months we haven’t been there, so today was great to get three goals and the win. For us now it’s about finishing in that top half and as high up as we can.”

The former Liverpool wide man felt his luck was out after missing a great early chance and hitting the base of the post in the build up to Harrison Reed’s opener but he drilled home a brilliant ball from Willian to restore the visitors’ lead.

“I missed one before that when one came to us on the edge of the box, so that was in the back of my mind and after the one hit the post, I wasn’t sure if it was going to be my day. It was a great team move in the second half, and then Willi’s cutback fell lovely for me. Then it was just about the connection. To score my first league goal of the season, which had been quite frustrating for me, was great.”
