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.

PENALTY IPSWICH!! The referee awards a penalty as Delap raids down the left and checks inside Andersen, Castagne blocks him off and the forward falls to the floor. There didn't seem too much in that but nevertheless it is given.

VAR is checking for a penalty to Fulham. Wilson was moving into the Ipswich box when Morsy seemed to clip his heels. The on field official is being asked to go to the monitor to have a look. Penalty given!!

BROADHEAD EFFORT SAVED!! aA long ball from back to front is contested by Delap, it drops invitingly for Broadhead who shaped beautifully to shoot and hit his righ foot volley low and hard, but Leno saved to his left with a strong hand away.

CHANCE FOR SMITH ROWE!! The substitute got that all wrong. Iwobi scooped a ball in from the right that got all the way to the far post. Smith Rowe had crept goal side of his defender and flung himself for a diving header attempt but it was way wide of the left post. He seeemd to get his bearings wrong there.
