"Raul Jimenez was Fulham's hero at Craven Cottage, with his late strike securing a dramatic 1-0 victory over Sunderland. The Mexico striker scored the decisive goal six minutes from time to give Marco Silva's side only a second win in seven Premier League games. Fulham carried the greater attacking threat throughout the match, with Harry Wilson and Kevin going the closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half."
"However, in the 84th minute, Jimenez stepped up with only his second league goal of the season, turning home substitute Samuel Chukwueze's inviting cross to seal an important three points. Victory sees the Cottagers edge up to 14th place and build a three-point cushion over the bottom three. Regis Le Bris' visitors slip from fourth to sixth after seeing their impressive four-match unbeaten run come to an end."
