Joao Felix sent off on debut after horror challenge in Fulham vs Chelsea

Joao Felix's Chelsea debut ended in disaster after the 23-year-old was shown a straight red card for a horror challenge on Fulham's Kenny Tete.

After a really impressive first-half from Felix, who signed for the Blues on Wednesday afternoon, the Portuguese attacker went sliding in on Tete and left his boot up near the defender's shin and was shown a red card by referee David Coote. The referee, after a bit of deliberation, branded the red card, meaning Felix will miss Chelsea's next three matches.

It came moments after Kalidou Koulibaly had equalised for the visitors at Craven Cottage. Koulibaly scrambled the ball in after Mason Mount hit the post from a free-kick.
