Joao Felix's Chelsea debut did not go to plan on Thursday evening as the forward was sent off in the second half of the 2-1 defeat to Fulham.
The 23-year-old was handed a start by Graham Potter for the trip to Craven Cottage despite only securing his temporary move from Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. Felix showed numerous touches of class throughout the first half and managed to take six shots at Bernd Leno.
However, shortly after Denis Zakaria was forced off with a knock, Felix's debut was ended earlier than expected when referee David Coote showed the forward a straight red for a dangerous tackle on Kenny Tete. Fulham went on to win the game with Carlos Vinicius heading his first Fulham goal in the 73rd minute.
