Ryan Sessegnon perhaps had a point to make. He was 19 when, five and a half years ago, he left Fulham for Tottenham. Having missed all of last season after surgery on both hamstrings, he returned on a free transfer in the summer having started only 26 league games for Spurs.
Sessegnon has not made a huge impression this season but, with two minutes remaining, as Ben Davies dithered under a bouncing ball, he brushed him aside and whipped a precise right-footed finish into the top corner, securing Fulham’s win and, with his first goal at Craven Cottage since Boxing Day 2018, a measure of personal vindication.
