Raul Jimenez scored twice from the spot as Fulham held Ipswich Town to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Sunday, extending the hosts’ unbeaten streak to eight league matches.

Both teams converted penalties within two minutes as Jimenez cancelled out Sammie Szmodics’ first-half strike in the 69th minute, before Liam Delap restored the visitors’ lead after Timothy Castagne brought him down.

But Jimenez got a second crack at restoring parity when Leif Davis fouled him in the 90th minute, denying 18th-placed Ipswich a chance to climb out of the relegation zone for the first time since November.

Fulham, who are unbeaten since November, remained ninth with 30 points while Ipswich moved to 16, equal with 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers who have played a game less.

HIGH AND WIDE FROM DAVIS!! Davis sprints down the Ipswich left onto a swiveled pass from midfield, but he can't keep the effort down as he approaches the left angle of the area and it is fired high and wide off the outside of his boot.

The goal from Jimenez is his seventh of the season and now makes him Fulham’s number one in terms of goal contributions in this Premier League campaign with nine.

JIMENEZ JUST WIDE!! That was close from Jimenez who sees his flicked header fly just wide of the left post after the free kick was curled in from the Fulham left. He got in front of his man but could not hit the target.

Ipswich's tails are up and they are contesting every ball now, pressing hard in the Fulham half in an attempt to stop any momentum.

Andersen buffets Delap from behind as the striker protects the ball well just inside the Fulham half. Very reminiscent of Alan Shearer who used to do that so well back in the day.
