Summary: Fulham - Chelsea 1:2 (Sport 1)
A single win in the last nine rounds - Chelsea had to deal with this dismal record yesterday (Thursday) after the 2:1 loss to Fulham in the final game of the 7th round in the Premier League.
Graham Potter handed the keys to Joao Felix on his first team debut and it paid off with a straight red card during the second half after which the Blues fell apart and conceded the second goal that secured three points for Manor Solomon and co.
The Israeli had time to come off the bench in the 83rd minute and be part of the celebration in the West London derby.

The Blues coach was interviewed at the end of the game and summed up another loss in his term at the club: "I think we controlled the game, we pressed well, we created chances, but we missed a lot in the last pass. We made some mistakes that also led to goals. In the second half I think we responded well with Koulibaly's goal, then the ticket The red changed the game and made it more difficult for us. I'm disappointed with the second goal we conceded because I think we could have done better. We'll have to keep working hard, at the moment there are no solutions for the way we look. It's looking and I'm disappointed for the fans. Everything could have been Bad was even worse."
Potter commented on the red in Felix's debut: "It was a forward-footed tackle, I understand why it's red. It's another blow for us, because he was very good when he played. You could see his qualities in the game, so it's disappointing for us."
A premiere he would like to forget.
