Before Ryan Sessegnon had the ball in the back of the net in the 55th minute for Fulham. But the former Spurs star's strike was ruled out for handball with VAR confirming the on-field call. Referee Rob Jones led the way, spotting a handball from Sessegnon as he tried to tame Antonee Robinson 's lay-off.

Never leave a Fulham game Sessegnon's late winner on Saturday means Fulham have won the third-highest number of points from a losing position this coupled with the fact we have lost the second-highest number of points from a winning position, has defined this have given us the highs and lows that have punctuated this rollercoaster as games like Chelsea last week felt like sucker punches, late goals like Sess's against the Saints, his strike against Spurs, and Harry Wilson's injury-time double against Brentford have sent Fulham fans into raptures – and mean that we are still in the hunt for a European berth next of our late goals have come from substitutions. In fact, they have contributed 15 of our 50 strikes this season. One more of those would be a Premier League record, a testament to Marco Silva's ability to shuffle the are just four games of the season left – and each one feels like a cup final, as cliched as that sounds. Currently, it is in our own hands, but we have some tough fixtures travel to Villa Park next weekend to face an Aston Villa side desperate to squeeze into the top five. Then we host Everton, before a West London derby at the Gtech Stadium; we have picked up just one point there since Brentford moved to top it all off, Manchester City visit Craven Cottage on the final day. We will all be praying for a bit of daylight between us and the chasing pack by that point, or we could be suffering some late heartbreak once with Fulham it is never over until the final whistle.
