Raúl Jiménez has overcome adversity to secure his status as an all-time Mexican great in the Premier League.

Since his return to the pitch, he’s back to finding the goals, too, the latest of which arrived on Saturday.
Jiménez converted a penalty against Nottingham Forest for his 50th Premier League goal, something which only Chicharito had done before.
Only two Mexican players have scored 50 Premier League goals:

The moment goes down as his third of the season and his 100th career goal in Europe, too.
