Raúl Jiménez Scores Again for Fulham
Raúl Jiménez was the hero for Fulham, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest at The City Ground. The goal came at the start of the second half from a controversial penalty awarded after a VAR review. Jiménez confidently converted the spot-kick, marking his fourth goal of the season and leading Fulham to their third victory in the Premier League.
The match was highly competitive, with Nottingham Forest starting strong and believing they had taken the lead with a goal from Chris Wood, which was ruled out by VAR for offside. The foul on Andreas Pereira that resulted in the penalty was questioned by Forest fans, but the referee, after reviewing the monitor, decided to point to the spot, allowing Jiménez to score the winning goal.
With this victory, Fulham climbed to sixth place in the Premier League table, showcasing impressive consistency with five matches unbeaten. This triumph also highlighted Jiménez's return to form, as his goal marked the 50th of his career in the Premier League, a significant milestone for the Mexican forward.
On the other hand, Nottingham Forest saw their unbeaten streak in the league come to an end, leaving them in ninth place. Despite their efforts in the final minutes of the match, they could not break through Fulham's solid defense, which kept a clean sheet thanks to a disciplined defensive performance and the reliability of goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
