SOUTHAMPTON, England :Fulham came from behind to beat bottom side Southampton 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday to claim three precious points in their chase for European football after Ryan Sessegnon grabbed the winner in the 92nd minute.
Already-relegated Southampton took the lead from a set-piece in the 14th minute when Jack Stephens scored with a glancing header before Emile Smith Rowe equalised in the 72nd thanks to a deflection off Jan Bednarek.
But with the Saints pegged back and Fulham playing on the front foot, Adama Traore delivered a cross into the box where Sessegnon stooped low to divert a header into the bottom corner.
Fulham moved up to eighth with 51 points while Southampton have four games left to avoid being labelled the joint-worst team in Premier League history, a record set by the 2007/08 Derby County side which finished with 11 points.
