He let himself in, went straight up the stairs and into the victim's room where he charged towards his 36-year-old victim.
He punched him repeatedly to the face, causing multiple facial fractures to his jaw, eye socket, cheek and nose. The man was taken to hospital for treatment and needed corrective surgery.
Wilson pleaded guilty to Section 18 wounding and was jailed this week at Preston Crown Court for six years and nine months.
Det Con Sasha Smith-Hooke, of South CID, said: “This was a vicious assault carried out on a man in his own home and I welcome the sentence which reflects the gravity of the offending.”
