It was Jiménez’s 12th successful penalty from 12 attempts — a perfect record that lifts him above Manchester City great Yaya Touré. It was titled, “Jimenez overtakes Yaya Toure as Premier League’s best-ever penalty-taker.”In doing so, Jiménez became “the only player to have taken and converted 12 spot-kicks” in Premier League history, surpassing Touré’s long-standing 11-from-11 mark. The goal came during Fulham’s dramatic 3–2 defeat to Manchester United, but the result was secondary to the moment. He took his place in Premier League history, the release concluded. PUNCH Online reported that Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick extended his perfect start as Benjamin Sesko’s stoppage-time strike sealed a pulsating 3-2 win over Fulham on Sunday.
