Premier League: Joao Felix debut in tatters as Fulham compound Chelsea woes

Fulham piled more misery on struggling Chelsea with a 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage in Thursday’s west London derby, which also saw new loan signing Joao Felix sent off on his Blues debut.

Former Chelsea midfielder Willian had given Fulham a 25th-minute lead against his former club before Kalidou Koulibaly scrambled home an equaliser two minutes into the second half.

But Felix, who was enjoying an impressive debut following his loan move from Atletico Madrid, cut short Chelsea’s comeback when his high tackle on Kenny Tete just before the hour mark saw the Portugal forward shown a red card.
