Newcastle United got ripped to shreds by someone born in the year 2000

Remember that Pulp song from the 90s? How does it go again? Oh yes:

'Let's all meet up in the year 2000, won't it be strange when future scourge of Newcastle United, Ryan Sessegnon, is being born in Roehampton.' Something like that, anyway. In case you hadn't heard, Sessegnon is the future of English football, the solution to the perennial left-sided problem and more. And he's just 16 years old. The Fulham academy product, who can play at left-back or on the left of midfield, scored twice as the Cottagers stunned Championship leaders Newcastle United with a 3-1 win at St James' Park. The teenager's goals, which followed a Tom Cairney opener, brought Slaviša Jokanović's team within touching distance of the play-offs and left the Magpies just six points clear of third-placed Huddersfield, who have a game in hand. https://twitter.com/archiert1/status/840598063806836737 And Sessegnon could have even netted the first hat-trick of his professional career when Fulham were awarded a penalty, only for centre-back Tim Ream to take the spot-kick...and miss. Naturally, a few people were none too happy with the American international, though he maintains it was his manager's decision to keep him on penalty duties. https://twitter.com/FootieWriter/status/840607388889710592 https://twitter.com/jamie_cozza/status/840625874772865024 https://twitter.com/neilroarty/status/840621025930932224 https://twitter.com/urbancoyote2/status/840620118480695297 https://twitter.com/JosephJosepe/status/840607288192860160 Meanwhile, Newcastle fans were left reflecting on another setback in their quest to return to the Premier League at the first attempt, even if they do remain top on goal difference. https://twitter.com/ChrisTurner_6/status/840609135683088385 https://twitter.com/sldouglas88/status/840609097410068480 https://twitter.com/CalvinNUFC_1998/status/840621635845652481 https://twitter.com/AOlssonNUFC/status/840599542034812929
