Ryan Sessegnon admitted that Fulham's defense failed to perform to its full potential, leading to a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa. Raul Jimenez's header briefly gave Fulham the lead, but Ollie Watkins equalized late in the first half. In the second half, Aston Villa scored twice, ending Fulham's three-game winning streak.  

After the game, Ryan Sessegnon said his team failed to maintain their advantage after a dream start. He said: "We started well, but an unexpected goal conceded turned the tide. To be honest, we completely lost our composure after that. We conceded again at the beginning of the second half, and then conceded another goal quickly, and the game almost lost its suspense early on."  

"There really aren't many excuses. Our defense was very bad, which is not our usual level. We need to review this week's game and seriously find out where the problem lies."  

This defeat was only Fulham's second in the Premier League this season and the team will now focus on a quick bounce back with Saturday's away game at Bournemouth.  

Ryan Sessegnon added: "Maybe it was just a concentration problem, which is hard to understand because it's not something we often experience. "It's disappointing to lose but we have to pick ourselves up and start again. We'll look at it positively and hope to bounce back and win against Bournemouth."
