When Joao Felix was named in the Chelsea starting-lineup against Fulham it raised eyebrows but for 57 minutes it was the best decision of Graham Potter's tenure. The on-loan Atletico Madrid star was by far the best player on the pitch until his perfect debut took a dramatic turn for the worst.
After nearly quarter-of-an-hour into the second-half, Felix lunged in on Kenny Tete and was shown a red card for his challenge. And, as the Portugal international walked down the tunnel, the Blues lost their cutting edge.
Fulham are now six points ahead of tenth-placed Chelsea and Potter's only glimmer of hope is now suspended for three games. So, with that being said, football.london has taken a look at how the national media reacted to the Craven Cottage defeat.
