Raul Jimenez Scores on Sensational Volley in Wolves' Disappointing Draw

Raul Jimenez has had a fantastic season for Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the Mexican forward continued it with a fantastic goal, albeit in a disappointing result.

Jimenez's 17th Premier League goal of the season was a beauty, an instinctive volley that gave Wolves a 1-0 lead over Burnley on Wednesday–only for Chris Wood's stoppage time penalty to deliver a blow to Jimenez's side in its quest for a spot in European competition.

Jimenez's goal came after Matt Doherty's speculative blast from long range hit off the backside of a Burnley defender. The ball flew into Jimenez's path, and he wasted no time in swinging his right leg through for a perfectly executed volley from the edge of the box.
