Fulham wing-back Ryan Sessegnon believes there's much in his game to improve.

Champions Manchester City and their forward Raheem    Sterling have presented the biggest challenge so far — and Sessegnon pulls no punches about his own performances.

The left-side specialist, recalling the Cottagers' 3-0 loss at the Etihad, told The Sun: “City are very good.

“It was tough, especially playing full-back against Raheem.

“He was just running forward so much. So much energy.

“It's difficult when you don't really have cover. They're just an attacking team.

“Going up a level has proved to be harder than I thought it would.

“It's been very challenging, but at the same time that challenge has been good for me.

“Of course I wanted to do a bit better by this stage, in terms of performances. “I don't think I've been near my best in certain games.

“I look at all the mistakes I've made before I watch my good stuff."
