Fans spot Raul Jimenez's crucial role in Fulham's penalty shootout win over Man United

Fans have spotted the pivotal role that Fulham striker Raul Jimenez played in his side's penalty shootout win over Manchester United on Sunday.

Penalties were needed to separate the two sides at Old Trafford after their fifth round FA Cup tie finished 1-1 following extra time.

With a place in the quarter-finals on the line, all four of Fulham's penalty takers kept their nerve, while Bernd Leno saved spot-kicks from Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee to earn the visitors an impressive victory.

Leno was rightly hailed as Fulham's hero, but it has since emerged that he had some help from Jimenez, who had scored his own penalty to set Fulham on their way to the last eight.
