Raúl Jiménez Nets 84th‑Minute Winner as Fulham Edge Sunderland

The Mexican striker seized a starting recall created by Rodrigo Muniz’s long-term hamstring layoff.

Overview

  • Fulham beat Sunderland 1-0 at Craven Cottage in Premier League matchweek 12 with Jiménez scoring in the 84th minute.
  • Manager Marco Silva confirmed Rodrigo Muniz sustained a hamstring injury that will keep him out until mid-February 2026 and will require surgery.
  • Silva said left back Antonee Robinson was unavailable for this game, while Jiménez trained with the squad and returned to the XI.
  • The goal was Jiménez’s second in the league and third of the season for Fulham, following a recent strike on international duty with Mexico.
  • The victory lifted Fulham to 14th place on a temporary basis, offering breathing room from immediate relegation danger.
