Raúl Jiménez Nets 84th-Minute Winner as Fulham Edge Sunderland 1-0

With Rodrigo Muniz out until mid-February after hamstring surgery, Jiménez now projects as Fulham’s leading center-forward under Marco Silva.

Overview

  • Jiménez started, played the full 90 minutes and converted his only shot, finishing a Samuel Chukwueze cross under pressure in the 84th minute.
  • He logged 28 touches and completed 10 of 20 passes as Fulham ground out a tight contest at Craven Cottage.
  • The victory moved Fulham to 14 points and 15th in the table, while Sunderland remained on 19.
  • Marco Silva praised Jiménez’s commitment after the match, saying the striker always plays with heart and gives everything for the shirt.
  • Club staff quickly contained a brief post-match scuffle, and Fulham now visit Tottenham on November 29.
