5 Things we learned from Fulham’s win over Aston Villa
Cairney the hero for Cottagers.
Fulham secured promotion to the Premier League with a 1-0 victory in their Championship play-off final against Aston Villa.
Despite being under pressure throughout the second half, Tom Cairney’s first-half finish proved enough for their often-promising season to end in glory.
Here, Press Association Sport analyses five things learnt from Wembley.
1. Ryan Sessegnon is ready to thrive in the Premier League. He was already expected to attract significant interest from bigger clubs and the 18-year-old further enhanced his growing reputation with the superb pass that created Cairney’s goal on such a high-pressure stage. If Fulham can retain Sessegnon and Cairney, they will have two significant assets as they build for next season.
