West HamStoppage-time winner off bench
Wilson scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Everton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.
Analysis: Wilson came off the bench and delivered the knockout blow in the second minute of stoppage time to secure West Ham's 2-1 Premier League win over Everton, calmly finishing Jarrod Bowen's knockdown from El Hadji Malick Diouf's left-wing cross with a composed first-time strike at the back post that kept the Hammers two points clear of the relegation zone. He needed just under 10 minutes on the pitch to leave his mark, registering one goal and one shot while relying on pure veteran instincts to find the right space for a finish that was all about timing and anticipation rather than raw athleticism. Wilson now has six Premier League goals on the season, with half of them coming off the bench, and his ability to swing games late has been a defining factor in West Ham's push to stay in the top flight.
Makes bench Friday
Wilson (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's game against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Wilson was deemed to be improving from a fitness perspective, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo, so it's not surprising to see him as an option off the bench. Wilson has spent most of the season as a backup, however, so his fantasy appeal remains low even if he's fit to play again.
Could return Friday
Wilson (undisclosed) trained this week and could be available for Friday's clash against Wolverhampton, according to Nuno Espirito Santo. "JC, Wilson are improving, and we still have tomorrow to assess. We are positive that they can be available"
Analysis: Wilson could be available for Friday's clash against Wolverhampton after training this week, having missed Sunday's FA Cup match against Leeds due to an undisclosed injury. The forward has held a bench role this season, but his potential return would add depth in the attacking hierarchy, having started 11 of his 27 appearances across all competitions while recording five goals and one assist during that span.
Scores late winner
Wilson scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Wilson scored the match-winning goal Saturday, an unassisted strike from close range in the 93rd minute to break the deadlock. It came just two minutes after he was subbed onto the pitch and it marked his first goal since Nov. 22. He's now scored five goals through 18 matches (eight starts) this season.
Assists opener Sunday
Wilson assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.
Analysis: Wilson subbed onto the pitch in the 72nd minute Sunday and assisted Jarrod Bowen's opener in his first minute on the field. It marked his first assist of the season to go along with his four goals. He added one off-target shot in his 18 minutes of action.
Brace in draw
Wilson scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Wilson netted a brace during Saturday's draw, a pair of goals that did just enough to earn the point. The striker has filled in well for Nicolas Fullkrug, and should continue to get plenty of chances despite Fullkrug being back healthy. Wilson is going to have to be efficient, as he hasn't often gotten a plethora of chances with limited service.
Scores header in win
Wilson scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory versus Burnley.
Analysis: Wilson's positioning gave him an unmarked back-post header Saturday as West Ham earned a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Burnley. The forward's two shot attempts marked just the second time across eight appearances (three starts) in which he was able to rattle off multiple shot attempts. After not scoring across 18 appearances (two starts) with Newcastle last season, Wilson has scored twice across his first eight West Ham appearances (three starts).
Scores first goal with Hammers
Wilson scored one goal to go with four shots (four on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Wilson came on in the 64th minute and scored a header in stoppage time to seal the 3-0 win. He had multiple earlier efforts denied by Matz Sels before finally converting from El Hadji Malick Diouf's left-wing cross. This marked his first goal with the Hammers in six shot attempts over the first three league games, including four in Sunday's outing.
