Ryan Sessegnon discusses about a ‘unusual’ display from Fulham
Ryan Sessegnon was shocked by the 3-1 road loss to Aston Villa. The fullback said it was a “unusual” performance where the hosts had an easier time due to uncharacteristic errors. Fulham entered this match with a lot of momentum after defeating Brentford 3-1 and Leeds United 1-0 to end a three-game losing streak in August. The visitors took the lead as Raul Jimenez ducked to direct a Sasa Lukic corner kick delivery into the back of the net.
“We had a great start to the game before giving up a pretty strange first goal.” Joshua King, an Academy graduate, had a chance to score a penalty after breaking through on the goal, but the referee gave him a yellow card instead. Then, at the other end of the field, Lucas Digne dug out a chipped ball to release a run of Ollie Watkins, and the striker lobbed Bernd Leno to get himself off the mark.
On Derby Day, Fulham benefited from the Bees’ collapse, but this time, the opposite would be true. The Scotsman placed a shot into the net from outside the penalty area after Emiliano Buendia flipped the ball into McGinn’s possession after Adama Traore had turned it over. The Argentine substitute then scored after Digne drove the ball down the line for Watkins.
“We conceded one goal immediately after half-time, which can happen, but to concede the next one straightaway was frustrating. The game was pretty much done after that. It is merely inadequate defence on our part; there are no true explanations. Although Sessegnon views this defeat as an unexpected performance, it does not justify the mistakes.
