Raul Jimenez scored twice as Fulham ended their Premier League losing run with a 3-1 victory over Sunderland. A drab first half at the Stadium of Light made way for a frantic second period in which all four goals were scored. Jimenez opened the scoring in the 54th minute, heading home from Alex Iwobi's corner. The Mexican doubled his tally seven minutes later, converting from the penalty spot after Brian Brobbey tugged Calvin Bassey's shirt.
You let your actions speak for themselves and you understand the responsibility you have. You have to provide joy to the supporters - that's why football clubs exist. They are the lifeblood of this game. That's all I care about. I'll win things here and people will still have doubts about me. I just want to keep doing what I need to do because it brings hope to people and allows me to live my dreams.
United went ahead through Rodrigo Muniz's own goal early in the second half at Craven Cottage, but they could not hold out for their first win of the Premier League season as substitute Emile Smith Rowe equalised for Fulham. United also saw captain Bruno Fernandes fire over from the penalty spot in the first half, his fifth missed spot-kick in the Premier League since his competition debut in 2020.
