Who has a 100% penalty conversion rate?

Jimenez Holds Perfect Penalty Record in Premier League History

When it comes to composure from the penalty spot, few can match the ice-cool precision of Jimenez. The Mexican striker stands alone as the only player in Premier League history to have converted every single one of his 14 penalties—a flawless 100% record that underscores his nerve under pressure.

While many elite players have had their moments from 12 yards, consistency is rare. Even legendary figures like Manchester City’s Yaya Touré, known more for his powerful presence than finesse, once held a perfect record—scoring all 11 of his penalties. Yet, Jimenez edges ahead simply by maintaining that unbroken streak over a longer span.

Penalties, as fleeting as they are dramatic, often define careers. A single miss can linger in public memory, while perfect records like Jimenez’s go quietly underappreciated—until you look closely. In an era where even world-class strikers hover around the 80-85% mark, achieving perfection across a dozen-plus attempts speaks volumes about mental strength and technique.

Interestingly, such records aren’t just about skill. They reflect decision-making, timing, and the ability to shut out noise when the spotlight burns brightest. Jimenez, often calm and understated, has mastered that balance. While others may take more penalties or score more dramatic ones, few can claim the clean sheet that he holds.

As of March 2026, his name remains etched quietly at the top of this unique list—an anomaly in a game where imperfection is the norm. And though records may eventually fall, this one won’t be broken easily. As long as pressure persists and spot-kicks matter, Jimenez’s flawless run stands as a quiet testament to consistency in one of football’s most tense rituals.

For now, he remains the only player with a perfect penalty record at this scale—14 for 14, and still counting.
