Graham Potter defends Joao Felix after Chelsea's new boy was sent off on his debut,

Joao Felix was sent off less than an hour into his Chelsea debut as the season went from bad to worse for Graham Potter at Fulham.

Felix, signed on loan from Atletico Madrid at a cost of £15million in fees and wages, was thrown straight in after only one training session with his new teammates.

He sparkled in the first half but saw red, early in the second, for an ugly lunging, studs-up late tackle on Kenny Tete, who escaped without injury.
