Wilson is heading back to Liverpool when his loan at Cardiff City finishes and he will turn up at Anfield with the first hat-trick of his career under his belt.
Lee Bowyer sent out boys to do a man’s work – and his Blues babes were taken apart by Wilson.
He gave Cardiff their biggest away win for 11 years and Bluebirds boss Mick McCarthy said: “It’s as good a hattrick as I’ve ever seen.”
With safety in the Championship assured, Bowyer picked a team with two teenagers and a 20-year-old in it, plus another 19-year-old who came on off the bench.
Wilson’s first was a magnificent 25-yarder, hit with the outside of his left foot into the top corner.
Then he beat Birmingham’s defensive wall with another long-range free-kick and four minutes from time Wilson did it again with a second freekick.
