"Fulham may have had to wait nearly a year for a Premier League penalty, but its conversion should never have been in doubt. Raul Jimenez calmly slotted home the Cottagers' first penalty since the 2-2 draw with Ipswich in January 2025 to earn Fulham a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest and move to within two spot-kicks of breaking a Premier League record."
"On waiting for the goalkeeper to move before striking the ball, he said: "It's always what I do. I do it well, so it's something I have been training my whole career. I like to have this pressure with these penalties. I'm happy to score. "I've never missed [a penalty in the Premier League]. I'm really happy about that, so I want to keep doing it like that. More penalties to come, I'll be there.""
Raul Jimenez slotted Fulham's first Premier League penalty since January 2025, securing a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest. The conversion moved his Premier League penalty record to 11 successful attempts from 11, matching Yaya Toure. Cole Palmer had reached 12 from 12 before a saved penalty ended his perfect run. Jimenez needs two more successful penalties to become the player with the most consecutive successful Premier League spot-kicks before a miss. Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney previously had 10-from-10 records that later ended with misses. Alan Shearer has scored the most Premier League penalties (56). Jimenez waits for the goalkeeper to move before striking.
