To the ‘Cottagers’ because they lose the opportunity to get hooked on the European train and to the ‘Saints’ because they will continue several more days as bottom of the table.

As to Raul Jimenez, the forward He could not beat the scoring record of a Mexican in the Premier League, which Javier Hernández has with 53 goals.

“The Wolf of Tepeji” He stayed at 52 points and will have to wait until 2025 to try to break the mark of his compatriot.

In the game against Southampton, Jiménez played 30 minutes; He came on as a substitute at minute 60 and He was participatory, but he did not have options to score the desired goal.

With this result, Fulham missed the opportunity to get ahead of Manchester City and Newcastle United and are left with 25 points in ninth position, not far from a Conference League that is three points away and the Europa League in which At the moment Bournemouth is with 28 points.

For its part, Southampton, led by an interim coach waiting for Ivan Juric to take charge of the team on the next day, at least ended a streak of four consecutive defeats, including elimination midweek in the quarterfinals of the League Cup.
