Fulham 2-1 Chelsea, player ratings: Felix sent off as Blues lose again

The pressure on Chelsea and Graham Potter keeps building as the Blues lose yet another game, now against the West London rivals Fulham 2-1.

With the new signing Joao Felix getting the chance to start right after being announced as a Chelsea player a day before, he started the game very brightly and was heavily involved in the attacking play with Mason Mount and Kai Havertz. But ex-Chelsea man Willian came to haunt the visitors as he gave the home side the lead via a deflected effort.

However, early on in the second half Kalidou Koulibaly got CFC back level after Mount struck the post from a free-kick. But less than ten minutes after that Chelsea was forced to take off Denis Zakaria due to another injury and to make the matters worse, Joao Felix got himself sent off.

After this horrendous phase, Chelsea controlled the ball well even with ten men. Although some more bad defending from the Blues and questionable decision making from Kepa Arrizabalaga lead to the Cottagers taking the lead, now through Vinicius in the 73rd minute. After that, half chances were as good as it got for Potter’s men as another defeat means that European spots now seem a far fetched wish.

Here’s how each player fared in another horrendous performance against Fulham:
