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.

Aston Villa's poor start to the season took another blow as it took Fulham just three minutes to take the lead in their Premier League game at Villa Park. Villa, who are still searching for their first win of the Premier League season, kicked off looking to build on a 1-0 victory over Bologna in the Europa League on Thursday but their task was made harder almost immediately.
