Raúl Jiménez has left an indelible mark on the Premier League, establishing himself as one of the most prominent Mexican forwards in the history of English football. His tenure with Fulham during the 2024-2025 season has been particularly noteworthy, not only for his scoring ability but also for the quality and significance of his goals.
On January 5, 2025, in an 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town, Jiménez scored two penalties, reaching and surpassing Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández’s record to become the highest-scoring Mexican in Premier League history with 55 goals.
In that match, Jiménez demonstrated his composure and precision by converting two crucial penalties. The first, in the 69th minute, leveled the score temporarily. The second, in the 90th minute, secured the final draw, showcasing his ability to deliver under pressure and his importance in key moments for Fulham.
On December 29, 2024, in a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, Jiménez opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner, highlighting his aerial ability and skill in finding space in the opponent’s area.
On September 28, 2024, Jiménez scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest by converting a penalty he earned himself. This goal not only secured three points for Fulham but also marked his 50th Premier League goal, cementing his place among the league's most effective forwards.
Though not a goal, Jiménez’s assist on October 5, 2024, in a match against Manchester City deserves special recognition. With an elegant backheel, he set up Andreas Pereira to score, showcasing his creativity and vision in the attacking phase.
At 33 years old, Jiménez brings invaluable experience to Fulham’s squad. His European football journey and resilience following a severe injury in 2020 make him a role model both on and off the field.
As of January 2025, Jiménez has played 21 matches for Fulham across all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 2 assists. His presence in the attack has been vital to Marco Silva’s tactical plans, offering mobility, precision, and a constant threat to opposing defenses.
