"Raul Jimenez outlined his confidence that he will overhaul Yaya Toure for the best 100% penalty record in the Premier League, following Fulham's 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Jimenez kept his cool from 12 yards in the fifth minute of first-half stoppage time at Craven Cottage, as Fulham shaded a low-key affair. The Mexican has now taken 11 penalties in the Premier League for Wolves and Fulham, scoring all of them."
""It's always what I do. I do it well, so it's something I have been practising my whole career," Jimenez told Sky Sports when asked about his stuttering spot-kick technique. "I like to have this pressure with these penalties. I'm happy to score them. "I've never missed. I'm really happy about that, so I want to keep doing it like that. There are more penalties to come, and I'll be there."
