The Fulham team managed to defeat Manchester United in the FA Cup and now faces an important match where it must defend its position against two teams below it on the table, as well as against one of the leading teams. A tough challenge awaits for Raul Jimenez's team.
Last Sunday, Fulham played against Brighton in the 28th match week of the Premier League, and in the 34th minute, Jimenez opened the scoring for the Cottagers with a powerful strike that the goalkeeper could not respond to.
"Jimenez's goal against Brighton in the Premier League! Raul is in good form and, of course, will be in the squad for the Gold Cup and the 2026 World Cup with the Mexican national team," it was reported.
Currently, Fulham occupies the ninth place in the league table and is competing with the team in the eighth place. In the event of a win, they could overtake the eighth place team and remain in the fight for positions in the European competitions.
However, the home team responded with a guest goal and soon equalized the score, going to halftime with a score of 1:1. In the second half, the match continued in a draw, with very few important moments. Nevertheless, in the 69th minute, Jimenez was substituted for Rodrigo Muniz to conserve the remaining time.
In the current season of the Mexican wolf, Jimenez has registered 9 goals and 3 assists, restoring his previous level shown during his performances for Wolves. It is important to note that he surpassed Javier Hernandez in the record for goals in the Premier League.
