Fulham's teenage whiz Ryan Sessegnon has become the Championship's youngest goalscorer.

Sessegnon after he became the youngest scorer in the history of the Championship during the 2-2 home draw with Cardiff.

England Under-17s international Sessegnon, who Spurs are monitoring, opened the scoring, three minutes after coming on as a first-half substitute, when he scrambled home from close range.

"Ryan can be good for us. He made a great impact for us," Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic said of Sessegnon, who was born on May 18, 2000.

"He is a real winner and he is just 16 years and three months. He is a real young player.

"I'm sure in the future he can be big part of my squad and help us. He can play in different positions."
