Raul Jimenez scored a brace as Fulham triumphed over relegated Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on the final day of the Premier League season. Adama Traore opened the scoring for Fulham just before halftime with a precise finish into the bottom corner. Despite Carlton Morris equalizing from the penalty spot, Raul Jimenez restored Fulham’s lead before halftime and then added another goal early in the second half.

Luton’s leaky defense was evident in their final match, exemplified by the swift turnaround between their equalizer and Fulham’s second goal. Conceding 85 league goals this season, Luton struggled defensively, ultimately leading to their return to the Championship. However, they displayed resilience by scoring in each of their last seven games. Despite falling short, Luton’s fans showed unwavering support, applauding the team after the final whistle.

Harry Wilson delivered a standout performance for Fulham, contributing one goal and two assists in their final-day victory. His performance marked the first time a Fulham player had three direct goal contributions in a Premier League match since November 2012. Marco Silva praised his team’s performance, emphasizing their deserving victory despite conceding two goals. Referee Matt Donohue oversaw the match which attracted an attendance of 12,027 spectators.
