Raul Jimenez's two penalties ensured Fulham's 3-1 victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, ending a three-game losing streak. Jimenez converted a spot-kick after a VAR review and later scored from the penalty spot following a defensive error. The result propelled Fulham into the Premier League's top half, displacing Newcastle, while Sunderland remains 12th, likely securing top-flight status for 2026-27.
Alex Iwobi added a late third, completing a counterattack initiated by Harry Wilson. The win highlights Fulham's resilience under Marco Silva, though defensive lapses proved costly.
