After Nottm Forest’s devastation, Willian and Antonee Robinson left a lasting impression on the £5.5 million Fulham player.
Whether Fulham will sign another center-forward has been the subject of much speculation as the January transfer window approaches.
Players like Armando Broja, Santiago Gimenez, and Jonas Wind have all been connected to a move to Craven Cottage.
Raul Jimenez, Rodrigo Muniz, and Carlos Vinicius had combined for just two league goals, so it was understandable why before last night.
Nonetheless, Jimenez appeared to be the player who persuaded Fulham to sign him in the match against Nottingham Forest.
He was making brilliant play connections and dropping deep passes, and it finally seemed like he was getting along with Andreas Pereira.
His first goal was incredible; he scored it past Odysseas Vlachodimos by seizing the Brazilian’s through ball.
Prior to his second goal of the evening demonstrating his ability to still score goals of the highest caliber, that goal proved his striker’s instincts were still present.
After outmuscling Ola Aina and bringing the ball down on his chest, the £5.5 million forward swung around the Forest goalkeeper and coolly backheeled the ball into the empty net.
That goal should instill a great deal of confidence in him moving forward as it restored the faith of the home crowd in him.
