Sessegnon's Late Goal Secures Fulham 2-1 Victory Over Southampton

Fulham secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over already-relegated Southampton with Ryan Sessegnon's stoppage-time header, dashing the Saints' hopes of surpassing Derby County's record-low Premier League points total. Southampton had taken an early lead through a Jack Stephens header from a Ryan Manning free kick and looked on course for their first home league win since November. Emile Smith Rowe equalized for Fulham in the 72nd minute with a deflected shot, setting up a tense finale at St. Mary's. Despite a strong first half and notable performances from Ross Stewart and Stephens, Southampton were unable to hold on, leaving them stuck at 11 points. The win boosts Fulham's European qualification hopes, moving them up to eighth place in the league. The match featured late drama, missed chances, and spirited celebrations from the Fulham side.
