Chelsea's woes continue as Joao Felix sees red in Fulham defeat - 7 talking points

Chelsea suffered their eighth Premier League defeat of the season in a bruising 2-1 loss away to Fulham.

The Blues went down in the first half after former star Willian 's strike took a kind deflection off Trevoh Chalobah. Graham Potter 's rudderless side equalised two minutes after half-time through Kalidou Koulibaly, but it was about to all go wrong again for the under-fire English boss.

New signing Joao Felix, chucked in for his debut only a day after signing on loan from Atletico Madrid, ended a promising performance prematurely with a two-footed tackle which resulted in him being shown a red card. It didn't take long for Fulham to capitalise, as second-choice striker Carlos Vinicius - filling in for the suspended Aleksandar Mitrovic - made sure that the Cottagers would leapfrog Liverpool in the table and secure just their second victory over their West London rivals in 43 years.
