Mexico City.- Raúl Jiménez was on target again for Fulham for the second successive Premier League home game.
The Mexican opened his account in his side’s 3-1 win over Newcastle United at Craven Cottage on Matchday 5 of the 2024-25 season five minutes into the game after Adama Traoré chested down a ball that Jiménez controlled and in turn he drilled a low shot to give Fulham the lead.
Raul also scored in the previous home game against West Ham and his first goal came in the second round of the EFL Cup against Birmingham. Emile Smith Rowe scored the second in the 22nd minute and Reiss Nelson completed the job in the 92nd minute although Harvey Barnes had a discount in the 46th minute to leave Fulham in eighth place on eight points.
In their next matches, Fulham must visit Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.
