SHOCK: RAUL JIMENEZ PREMIER LEAGUE RECORD: DISCOVER FOREST’S RELEGATION NIGHTMARE AFTER FULHAM LOSS
Raul Jimenez equals a Premier League record as Fulham sink Nottingham Forest. Discover the truth about Douglas Luiz's error.
Raul Jimenez reminded Nottingham Forest that they still have work to do to avoid relegation.
After Sean Dyche took over, Forest grabbed 13 points in their first eight Premier League matches, calming nerves.
But his team played poorly here. Fulham, even playing better lately, still lost matches, and Jimenez scored a penalty in stoppage time of the first half, getting the win and moving Marco Silva's team up to 13th place.
Matt Barlow from Daily Mail Sport checks out the main things from the game...
BRAZILIANS ON THE PITCH
Carlo Ancelotti's assistant, Paul Clement, was watching the game. He was keeping an eye on the five Brazilian players who started. Four played for Forest, and Kevin played left wing for Fulham.
Jimenez's penalty gave Fulham the win against Nottingham Forest.
Fulham did enough to win on Monday, even though they have played better and lost lately.
Sean Dyche can't think the relegation battle is over.
There were as many Brazilian players as English players. But there were two English No. 10s playing. This shows that Premier League academies might be making too many technical players and not enough of everything else.
Morgan Gibbs-White played No. 10 for Forest, with wingers Callum Hudson-Odoi and Omari Hutchinson and Elliot Anderson in midfield with Douglas Luiz; that's six Anglo-Brazilian players up front.
Emile Smith Rowe was the only English player for Fulham, who started a team with 11 different nationalities.
Things haven't gone well for Douglas Luiz since he came back to the Premier League, on loan to Forest from Juventus. He was one of the players Edu thought caused problems between owner Evangelos Marinakis and Nuno Espirito Santo, the coach who got them back into Europe.
After Nuno left, Luiz was out with an injury. He returned to the team as Ibrahim Sangare was playing for the Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Then, he gave away a penalty after kicking Kevin from behind.
It was a soft penalty. Kevin acted like it was worse than it was. Forest complained, but the ref wasn't going to change his mind.
They spent two minutes arguing about it. John Victor was booked for slowing things down even more. Finally, in the fifth minute of added time, Raul Jimenez scored his third Premier League goal of the season from the only shot on target in a bad first half.
Douglas Luiz gave away a penalty and is having a tough time in Nottingham.
Jimenez is still great at playing centre forward. He is 34 and isn't getting much rest because Rodrigo Muniz is injured. But he always bothers the defenders and is a threat in the air.
He missed two good chances. In the first half, he headed an Antonee Robinson cross into the side netting from close range. He missed another one at the end of the game.
KEVIN IS STRUGGLING.
Fulham paid £34.6 million for Kevin. Right now, it's not looking good. Samuel Chukwueze is at the AFCON with Nigeria, so this was Kevin's chance to get used to the team, get used to how fast the English game is, and do well.
He got the penalty because he was quick and didn't give up. But he was often frustrating. The home crowd was annoyed because moves would break down because of bad passes and decisions. The away fans were annoyed because he kept falling and rolling around.
Kevin is only 22 and has talent. But his struggles remind people of other wingers who couldn't get used to the Premier League after playing in Ukraine, like Mykhailo Mudryk and Manor Solomon.
The fans were happy when Josh King replaced him at the end.
Kevin is Fulham's most expensive signing and got a penalty, but he is still struggling.
FOREST RESPONDS
Neco Williams got Forest's first shot on target early in the second half. But it was an easy save for Bernd Leno.
The visitors played better after the break and took shots from far away. But they couldn't get through Fulham's defence, which was led by Joachim Andersen and Jorge Cuenca, who was filling in for Calvin Bassey.
Maybe Nikola Milenkovic was trying to get his team going when he got in Cuenca's face at the end. It didn't help.
BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY
Tottenham appoints Bruno Saltor! Discover the new coaching team under Igor Tudor and the departures following Thomas Frank's exit.
Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.
Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.
Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.
If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.
Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.
Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.
GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW
Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.
Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.
Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.
The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.
Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.
People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.
Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.
One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.
His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”
For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.
Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.
Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
