WATCH: Marc Wilson hits a 25-yard bullet on his Bournemouth debut

WHAT A STRIKE

Conan Doherty

Are you watching, Mark Hughes?

It’s a good day to be Marc Wilson apart from the whole Robbie Keane thing obviously.

The Irish centre half was called back into the international squad on the same evening he scored for his new club.

Wilson left Stoke last week after a little dig publicly at his old manager.

90 minutes later, it’s all change. One game, one cup win, one goal. The move has turned out pretty decent for the Aghagallon native.

Bournemouth beat Morecambe 2-1 in the Rumbelows Coca Cola Worthington Carling Capital One EFL Cup second round on Wednesday night and it was their new recruit who hammered them through.

A cleared corner in the second half landed at the feet of Wilson who let fly from 25 yards and drilled a thunderbolt low and powerfully into the net to win the match for the Premier League outfit.

And, two more times. Just because.
