Raúl Jiménez, a Mexican forward recognized for his goal-scoring ability, also stands out as one of the best penalty takers in Premier League history. He has a 100% success rate in this type of kick, placing him alongside Yaya Touré as the only players to achieve this feat in the league. To date, Jiménez has converted 10 out of 10 penalties, being just one away from tying the record of retired Ivorian player.
Jiménez has taken a total of 41 penalties throughout his career, scoring 39 and missing 2. These misses occurred during a Europa League match with Wolverhampton against Sevilla and in a match with the Mexican National Team against Uruguay in 2018. Additionally, by scoring last Saturday against Brighton, he became the seventh player in Fulham's history to reach 10 goals in a single Premier League season.
Jiménez's success rate from the spot was highlighted by the Premier League after Chelsea’s Cole Palmer missed a penalty in the recent match against Leicester City. Jiménez joins an exclusive list of players with a perfect penalty record, proving to be one of the best takers in the world. As the current official goal scorer for Fulham, Jiménez is expected to have more opportunities to increase his record, with 10 matchdays remaining in the league.
