Raúl Jiménez has scored two goals in the Premier League with Fulham and little by little he is recovering his level.

Raúl Jiménez scored his first double in the Premier League with Fulham in the game on matchday 15, against Nottingham Forest, which once again clears up certain doubts about his signing with the London team, after spending a long time period without scoring.

Raúl Jiménez took 12 days to score his first goal for Fulham in the Premier League, for which he had accumulated criticism, however, he stood out against Aston Villa and his second and third goals came three dates later, so the striker Mexican seems to be recovering his scoring instinct. Jiménez had not scored a double in the Premier League since January 18, 2020, against Southampton.


Jiménez's goal came in the 34th minute, when his team was already winning 1-0. The Mexican sealed his team's second goal after a play that started in the right sector with Alex Iwobi, who relied on Andreas Pereira, who enabled the Mexican, who defined before the departure of goalkeeper Odisseas Vlachodimos.


Jiménez's second goal came in the second half, at 53 minutes after receiving a long ball between two Nottingham players. The Mexican lowered the ball with his chest, took off the mark with his physique and then eluded the goalkeeper to finish with his foot, which shows that confidence is returning.

Jiménez participated in Fulham's first goal


Fulham had taken the lead four minutes earlier with Iwobi's goal, after a play that was born in midfield with Jiménez recovering the ball, and the second goal did nothing other than sink Nottingham, which came into this match with three defeats in a row. Nottingahm had started the season with American Matt Turner as the starting goalkeeper, however, he lost his position after the tenth matchday and was replaced by Vlachodimos, a 29-year-old goalkeeper born in Germany, but who plays for the Greek National Team.
