Sessegnon’s 43rd-Minute Strike Secures 1-0 Win for Fulham at Craven Cottage

Fulham edged out Aston Villa 1-0 in their Premier League clash at Craven Cottage. Ryan Sessegnon pounced on a rebound in the 43rd minute, firing low into the corner to settle a tight first half. Aston Villa enjoyed the lion’s share of possession after going behind but struggled to test goalkeeper Bernd Leno. Ollie Watkins wasted a gilt-edged chance and Tammy Abraham missed a late opportunity, while Timothy Castagne’s disallowed goal was ruled out by VAR. Fulham held firm at the back, with Leno making key saves and the defence absorbing Villa’s pressure. Bookings for Douglas Luiz, Pau Torres and Harry Wilson punctuated a physical contest. The victory boosts Fulham’s push in the closing stages, leaving Villa to lament missed chances.
