Analysis: Fulham 2-0 Tottenham
Ryan Sessegnon made his senior debut for Fulham in 2016-17 as a 16-year-old and started to attract widespread attention the following campaign when scoring 15 goals in 46 Championship appearances.
That form saw him earn a move to Tottenham in 2019 for £25m but he was unable to kick on in north London with injuries stalling his progress.
After scoring just three times in 58 appearances across five seasons, Sessegnon returned to Fulham last summer.
His curling effort to ensure the Cottagers claimed victory against Tottenham after Rodrigo Muniz had opened the scoring was a reminder of what he can deliver.
Sessegnon showed desire and hunger to wrestle Ben Davies out of the way before curling beautifully into the far corner.
It was a rare moment of magic in a largely underwhelming London derby and helped to inject further belief into Fulham's pursuit of a European place.
Victory moved Fulham up to eighth and just four points shy of fourth-placed Chelsea.
Fulham have never finished higher than seventh in the Premier League, achieving that position in 2008-09, but they are firmly in contention to better that this season.
