Joao Felix told why he should stay at Chelsea as Todd Boehly tipped for £48m windfall

Joao Felix scored his first goal at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea in the 2-2 Premier League draw with Everton. Had it not been for Ellis Simms' late strike, the headlines emerging from the game would have likely been centred around Felix who put in a tremendous display.

Even prior to his well-taken goal, Felix was causing the Everton defence numerous problems, particularly in the first half with one piece of skill bamboozling James Tarkowski who had rushed out of defence to close him down. When receiving a pass from midfield, Felix sensed Tarkowski's imminent arrival and delicately flicked the ball through his legs on the half turn.

Proving he can be more than just a highlight reel, Felix netted his second goal since joining the club on loan from Atletico Madrid in January. A loose ball broke the way of the Portugal international who turned quickly and struck a low driven effort past Jordan Pickford and in off the post.
