Raúl Jiménez stepped up with composure and buried a decisive penalty against Burnley in their Premier League clash at the Craven Cottage on Saturday.
The goal sealed a comeback 3-1 victory for the hosts, who were once again inspired by Harry Wilson who also scored (his 10th of the season).
Jiménez was in tears after scoring his first goal since the death of his father last week. The 34-year-old dropped to his knees and pointed to the sky with both hands after converting the penalty to secure the win.
Fulham had earlier trailed when Zian Flemming had put the visitors ahead, but resilience defined their response throughout the contest.
19-year-old Josh King’s equaliser surged belief surged through the home crowd, before Wilson put the home side ahead. Eventually, Jiménez’s strike completed the turnaround and secured a deserved three points.

Jiménez has taken the most Premier League penalties without ever missing one! 14/14 penalties (100% record). That remarkable consistency underlines his reliability in high-pressure situations.
