Ryan Sessegnon has warned Cardiff City that Fulham are ready to pounce in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Cardiff's dramatic defeat by Wolves on Friday night allowed Fulham to cut the gap to the second-placed Bluebirds to just two points.
Fulham have put together an incredible 19-match unbeaten run to eat away at Cardiff's cushion, and can leapfrog them into the Championship top two if they beat Reading on Tuesday night and Neil Warnock's side stumble at Aston Villa.
Teenage full-back Sessegnon admits the Fulham squad were watching events in Cardiff closely on Friday night before securing a 1-0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday less than 24 hours later.
"We were aware that we needed to take advantage of that," Sessegnon told the club's official website.
"We all watched the game and knew that if Cardiff slipped up then it was our chance to pounce by getting three points and closing the gap on them. It is especially pleasing because the gap used to be so big.
"Now we have the belief, we've closed the gap and we keep winning games, so we're just raring to go in the next match."
