Graham Potter has described Joao Felix's red card in Chelsea's loss to Fulham as another blow to his side.

Makes it a little more difficult for us, I thought the application when we went down to 10 was really good. We made a couple of mistakes for their goal. He took the ball, caused danger. “It is another blow; the hits keep coming at the moment. "You can see his quality,” Potter said. Transfers

[Kalidou Koulibaly](https://www.football.london/all-about/kalidou-koulibaly) had equalised for the visitors at Craven Cottage. Felix recorded numerous shots as well in his time on the pitch but was unable to get his first goal in his new colours. Felix will next be available for Chelsea when they take on West Ham United in February. In the opening 45 minutes, Felix really impressed – which makes his red card even more disappointing. The referee, after a bit of deliberation, branded the red card, meaning Felix will miss Chelsea's next three matches.

Atletico Madrid manager Simeone only believes in earning what you are worth—work hard and the context will change for you. That is the way to grow. •Atletico ...

It is a falsehood that the Argentine has asked to leave, but the club would not be terribly disappointed if he did and Luis Enrique would more than likely be his successor. The relationship between the manager and the player is not the best. But Chelsea are the only top club that need a player like him and he can play regularly. Eventually, Chelsea accepted to pay 11 million euros for the loan as well as paying his wages for the rest of the season. This year started with the manager announcing that the team would be “Joao Felix and 10 more”, but Simeone did not put any obstacles to his departure. The Portuguese player had a good World Cup. The player, to his dismay, was used on the right wing and often away from the rival box. Soon after the game, Felix asked both his agent and Gil Marin to leave in January. Gil Marin demanded that Felix extend his contract by one year till 2027, as he wants to have control over his future. By then the relationship between player and coach had reached a nadir. Felix thinks Simeone sent him to the bench every time his form dipped a little bit. The league title was becoming an impossibility even at that early stage in the season.

With Félix having joined on a deal costing Chelsea a reported $790,000 a week taking in wages and the loan fee, it is a costly error for both the club and for under-pressure manager Graham Potter.

As the hour mark approached, Felix naively flew in studs-up on Fulham right-back Kenny Tete and gave referee David Coote no option but to show him a straight red card. Ahead of the game, Fulham's excitement was tempered by the absence of star striker and talisman Aleksander Mitrovic. Unfortunately for the Blues, though, what was about to happen was even worse. Going into the Chelsea clash with four clean sheets in 16 Premier League appearances, Leno picked up from where he left off and produced a string of saves to keep the Blues at bay. It didn't take long for Fulham to capitalise, as second-choice striker Carlos Vinicius - filling in for the suspended [Aleksandar Mitrovic](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/aleksandar-mitrovic) - made sure that the Cottagers would leapfrog [Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) in the table and secure just their second victory over their West London rivals in 43 years. Capitalising on Mason Mount's free-kick, the Senegalese powerhouse showed his prowess at the other end and drew the Blues level. Speaking of ex-Arsenal players proving themselves elsewhere, Bernd Leno is enjoying a superb first season away from the Emirates. A goal against Leeds earlier in the campaign reminded many that he's indeed back in the Premier League, but putting one past his former club may well go down as his landmark moment as a Cottager. Craven Cottage went wild with ecstasy, but the Brazilian stayed classy by refusing to celebrate, instead opting to respect the side who first brought him to England nearly a decade ago. Touted as one of the Premier League's best attackers not so long ago, Willian's return to West London from out in the wilderness has gone relatively under the radar. The Atletico Madrid loanee started brightly, too, drawing four fouls, getting two Fulham players booked, taking one shot and laying on what should've been an assist for Kai Havertz - all inside in the opening 15 minutes. [Willian](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/willian) 's strike took a kind deflection off Trevoh Chalobah.
