Fulham fans are singing the praises of recent debutant Steven Sessegnon, who capped his league bow for the club with a man-of-the-match performance against Huddersfield Town, as the Whites escaped with a late 2-1 victory.
The right-back enjoyed an impressive debut by stepping in for Denis Odoi, and was rewarded with the club’s Man of the Match award, which was voted for by the fans.
Sessegnon was snubbed by Sky Sports – whose cameras captured the tight win for Scott Parker’s side – as Ivan Cavaleiro snatched victory and the post-match accolade after his curler secured the points on Friday night.
But fans clearly had other ideas, and after receiving over half of the votes cast to name Fulham’s best player on the night, supporters are congratulating the teenager on an award that was richly deserved.
While twin brother Ryan has recently departed for Spurs, it looks as if these Fulham fans have hopes of a bright future for Steven – with some claiming Tottenham may have bought the wrong Sessegnon:
@SpursOfficial our sess is better than yours!!
