The hardest job in football is rapidly becoming a poisoned chalice for Graham Potter.
The Chelsea boss must think he is cursed because every time you think the crisis cannot get any worse, they plumb to new depths of despair. Debuts do not get any more surreal and crazy than Joao Felix getting himself sent off for a mad, reckless challenge to gift Fulham only their second win over their more illustrious West London neighbours in 43 years.
Felix had only got his work permit a few hours earlier, he had been Chelsea’s best player, a ray of hope in a disastrous season and yet then saw red in a moment of madness in the 58th minute which ultimately cost his team.
