Raul Jimenez has made history by joining an exclusive group of players with a perfect record from the penalty spot in the Premier League. In Fulham’s 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on December 21, 2025, Jimenez converted his 11th consecutive penalty, moving just two successful kicks away from breaking a significant record.
Jimenez Joins the 100% Club
The Mexican forward’s penalty in the first half was his 11th successful spot-kick in as many attempts, tying him with Yaya Touré for the best-ever penalty conversion rate in the Premier League among players with at least 10 attempts. Jimenez’s flawless record has turned heads, and with just two more successful penalties, he could become the player to score the most penalties without ever missing in Premier League history.
Jimenez reflected on his success, saying: “It’s always what I do. I’ve been training this technique my whole career. I like having the pressure and executing penalties with that focus. I’m happy to score and keep my record intact.”
Other Notable Penalty Takers in Premier League History
While Jimenez’s perfect record is impressive, the Premier League’s history includes several other players who are also renowned for their clinical finishing from the spot. Matt le Tissier, with a remarkable 96.2% success rate, ranks third for the most clinical penalty takers, converting 25 out of 26 attempts. Danny Murphy follows closely behind with 94.7%, scoring 18 out of 19 penalties, making them both two of the most efficient penalty takers the league has ever seen.
In addition to Jimenez and Touré, players like Callum Wilson and James Beattie have maintained high success rates, both converting 94.1% of their penalties, with Julian Dicks following closely with 93.8%.
A Historic Comparison
In terms of total penalties scored, Alan Shearer, the Premier League’s record goalscorer, leads the pack with 56 penalties, having taken 67 in total. Frank Lampard, Mohamed Salah, and Harry Kane round out the top six for most penalties scored but are not as clinical in terms of conversion rate compared to Jimenez and le Tissier.
Looking Ahead: Jimenez’s Record-Breaking Ambitions
As Jimenez looks to break the record for the most successful penalties without missing, he continues to provide Fulham with crucial moments of composure under pressure. His consistency from the spot has not only boosted his team’s performance but has also placed him among the Premier League’s best-ever penalty takers.
