Sessegnon strike gives Fulham victory over Villa
Fulham beat Aston Villa 1-0 at Craven Cottage in matchday 34 of the Premier League, with Ryan Sessegnon scoring the only goal of the game in the 43rd minute. The forward finished from the centre of the box with a left-footed effort into the bottom-right corner to put the home side ahead just before the break.
Despite having less possession, Fulham made their chances count. The hosts finished with 13 shots, six of them on target, and recorded an expected goals figure of 1.33, compared with Aston Villa?s 10 shots, one on target, and 0.93 xG. Fulham also took two corners, while the visitors earned five.
Aston Villa controlled more of the ball, ending the match with 61 per cent possession to Fulham?s 39 per cent, but they struggled to turn that dominance into clear opportunities. Fulham?s defensive work and greater efficiency in the final third ultimately made the difference in a game that remained finely balanced.
The decisive moment belonged to Sessegnon, who scored his third goal in the competition after 27 matches. His strike was enough to secure all three points for Fulham in front of their home supporters.
