Raul Jimenez Becomes Premier League’s Highest-Scoring Mexican with Landmark Goals

Jimenez Breaks Chicharito’s Record with Double Strike for Fulham

A Historic Milestone for Jimenez

Raul Jimenez etched his name into Premier League history by becoming the highest-scoring Mexican in the competition’s history, surpassing the record previously held by Javier Hernandez (Chicharito). Jimenez netted two second-half penalties in Fulham’s dramatic 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town, taking his Premier League tally to 55 goals, two clear of Chicharito’s long-standing record.

Fulham manager Marco Silva was full of praise for his forward, emphasizing the significance of the achievement and how it reflects Jimenez’s resilience after a career-threatening injury.

“It is an incredible achievement,” said Silva in his post-match press conference. “I’m really pleased for him, not just as a player but as a person, especially considering the challenges he has faced in his career and life. It’s a historic moment for him and for Mexican football.”
