Raul Jimenez continued his perfect record from the penalty spot to rescue Fulham a 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town on Sunday - and closed in on a Premier League record held by Cole Palmer in the process.
TV Info - Broadcasters
Jimenez has now taken 10 Premier League penalties in his career, and scored all 10 of them.
Chelsea's Palmer and Manchester City legend Yaya Toure are the only players in Premier League history with a better 100 per cent conversion rate from penalties than Jimenez. Palmer broke Toure's record with two penalties for Chelsea at Tottenham Hotspur last month.
Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo isn't too far behind Palmer's record, either, having taken and scored his eighth Premier League penalty in Saturday's 5-0 win at Southampton.

Fulham 2-2 Ipswich a game of penalties
Of the four goals in Sunday's match at Craven Cottage, three of them were penalties.
There were only two minutes and 44 seconds between the first and second penalties, scored by Jimenez and Liam Delap. It is the shortest gap on record between two penalty goals in a Premier League match.
The match was the first Premier League game to have three penalties taken with both teams having at least one since Fulham beat 3-2 Wolves in November 2023.
It continues a theme of penalties in matches featuring Ipswich. No team have conceded more goals via spot-kicks in the Premier League this season than they have, with Ipswich's five level with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Jimenez is Mexico's top scorer
Jimenez is now the outright highest Premier League goalscorer from Mexico.
He was moved two clear of former Manchester United and West Ham United striker Chicharito, a two-time Premier League title-winner.
Jimenez now has eight goals in the Premier League this season, beating his tally of seven from 2023/24. It is his best return since netting 17 for Wolves in 2019/20.
