Mexico City. Even amid the complications he has experienced, Raúl Jiménez seems to maintain a good pace on his way to re-emerge as a network breaker. The striker gave Fulham a 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest with a goal that marked his 100th career goal in Europe and 50th in the English Premier League.
Thus, Jiménez is only three goals behind Javier Chicharito Hernández (52) as the top Mexican scorer in the English league. He also became the third tricolor to reach a hundred goals in Europe along with Hernández (127) and Hugo Sánchez (313).
With a penalty in the 51st minute, Jiménez scored the decisive goal in today’s match and also scored his eleventh goal with the Fulham squad, with which he signed last season.
The Wolf of Tepeji has been in Europe for ten years where he has defended the colors of Atlético de Madrid, Benfica, Wolverhampton and now Fulham, where he is beginning to regain confidence as a scorer.
Jiménez’s career was halted in November 2020 when he suffered a skull fracture after a collision with Luiz David during a match between Wolverhampton and Arsenal. The forward underwent surgery and since then his recovery has been gradual until now he has shown himself more confidently as a born scorer.
