Sky Sports Champions League •

Fulham's Jimenez scored twice in a 2-1 victory over Wolves, significantly boosting their slim hopes of securing a Champions League spot. The win, secured at Selhurst Park, comes after a tough start to the season and provides crucial momentum. Crystal Palace had taken the lead early through Wilfried Bony, but Jimenez's first-half brace, including a penalty, turned the tide.

Fulham's manager, Scott Parker, emphasized the importance of this result in the context of their challenging campaign. The victory lifts Fulham above Wolves in the Premier League standings, albeit marginally, and keeps their European qualification dream alive, though the path remains extremely difficult.
