Raúl Jiménez once again proved his value in England.A calmly converted penalty by the Mexican striker was enough for Fulham to secure a 1–0 victory over Nottingham Forest, lifting the club away from the relegation zone in the Premier League.
The decisive moment came in first-half stoppage time (45+5), when Jiménez stepped up from the spot and confidently sent the ball home, breaking the deadlock in a tightly contested match at Craven Cottage.
Fulham Gain Breathing Room
With this result, Fulham move up to 13th place in the table with 23 points, increasing the gap from the relegation places—currently occupied by West Ham with 13 points—and even positioning themselves within reach of European qualification spots.
The win provides a crucial boost for the London side, who continue to rely on Jiménez’s experience and composure in high-pressure moments throughout the season.
Nottingham Forest Face Tough Road Ahead
On the other side, Nottingham Forest slip to 17th place with 18 points, finding themselves in a more complicated situation as the season progresses. The challenge intensifies for Sean Dyche’s side, with a difficult fixture against Manchester City coming up next.
The match was evenly balanced across the full 90 minutes, but it was the experience, confidence, and clinical finishing of the Mexican forward that ultimately made the difference—once again underlining his importance to Fulham during critical stages of the campaign.
