Raúl Jiménez scores in Wolves' win over Southampton

Raúl Jiménez's first goal in 2022 has landed. The Mexican scored in the match between Wolverhampton and Southampton, in the Premier League, with the striker's most traditional style.

The Mexican striker scored a goal on Saturday in the Premier League match scoring from the penalty spot in his usual style to deceive the goalkeeper.

Jimenez's last score was in November

The match between Wolves and Southampton was played at Molineux. Still, during the first half, Bednarek swept into the box and committed a foul but the referee went to the VAR to check if he gave a penalty. The penalty was confirmed.

Raúl Jiménez was in charge of taking the penalty. The Mexican striker did it in his usual style, shooting to the right of the goalkeeper, who stretched out to his left side and opened the scoring.

All this happened 37 minutes into the first half and served to open the scoring in favor of Bruno Lage's team. This was Raúl Jiménez's fourth goal of the season. They have been few for the Mexican but vital to gain points for the season.

Victory for Wolves has moved them back into eighth in the table, while Saints are seven points behind in 12th place.
