Raúl Jiménez will turn 35 in May yet Fulham’s Mexican striker remains as vital to Marco Silva’s team as ever. It is now approaching six years since his career was placed in serious jeopardy by a skull fracture but Jiménez exhibited precious few signs of wear and tear as his latest two goals, a second-half header and a penalty, sunk Sunderland.
Although Enzo Le Fée’s penalty briefly reduced the deficit, Alex Iwobi’s deft chip rubber-stamped Fulham’s victory, leaving the home side to rue clearcut chances missed by Romaine Mundle and Nilson Angulo.
