Newcastle 1-3 Fulham: 16-year-old sensation Ryan Sessegnon scores a brace as Fulham topple league leaders

A brace from 16-year-old sensation Ryan Sessegnon helped Fulham beat league leaders Newcastle 3-1 at St James' Park. The young forward scored two second-half goals to add to Tom Cairney's first half strike as Slavisa Jokanovic's side continued their own push for promotion.

Daryl Murphy scored a late consolation for Rafael Benitez's side, who remain ahead of Brighton at the top of the Championship on goal difference. Newcastle had no lost any of their last four clashes with Fulham at St James' Park - a run stretching back to 2009. But the visitors took the lead on 15 minutes when midfielder Cairney fired past Karl Darlow from outside the box.
