Sessegnon's winner keeps Fulham in hunt for European place - West London Sport

Ryan Sessegnon’s goal a couple of minutes before half-time gave Fulham a vital victory to maintain their challenge for a European place.

Sessegnon tucked away the loose ball after Sasa Lukic’s header from Timothy Castagne’s cross had been saved by keeper Emi Martinez.

Fulham thought they had doubled their lead in the second half when Castagne headed in, but the goal was disallowed for a foul by Sander Berge on Martinez.

Former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham missed a late chance for Aston Villa when he missed the target after going past Joachim Andersen.

The visitors pushed for an equaliser but Fulham defended well to secure their 10th home win of the season.

Fulham Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon (Robison 81), Berge, Lukic, Wilson, Smith Rowe (King 76), Chukwueze (Bobb 76), Jimenez (Muniz 66) Subs not used: Lecomte, Diop, Reed, Cairney, Kusi-Asare.
