However this situation is the keeper cleaning out Wilson and an empty net. Even if the covering defender is there ( which he wouldnt Wilson is going to get there before he can cover) its then Wilson 1 v 1 against a defender and no keeper.

Its a clear and obvious goalscoring opportunity. Its red all day.
I've just watched it again and the defender definitely could have got around to put himself between Wilson and the goal. He had less distance to go than Wilson did if he'd stayed up and would have been covering the goal - the ref made the right decision for me.
