WILSON WATCH: Man Utd striker enjoys eventful Brighton debut

Manchester United striker James Wilson enjoyed an eventful debut for Brighton against Birmingham City yesterday.

Wilson joined the Seagulls on-loan last week in a move which United manager Louis van Gaal admitted was a gamble given their lack of goalscorers.

Brighton ranout 2-1 winners, with Wilson making his debut as a 66th minute substitute.

Here's the highlights of his performance:

66': Wilson replaces goalscorer Bobby Zamora with scores at 2-1.

82': Wilson receives a pass from Tomer Hemed and fires a left foot shot just wide of Tomasz Kuszczak's post. Wilson collected the ball from Hemed on the left-side of the penalty box and fires wide of the right post.

84': Wilson is played in by Beram Kayal and fires his shot against the left-hand post. The move came via a fast break from the hosts.

90+6': Wilson plays in Kayal, who fires straight at Birmingham keeper Kuszczak.
