Tavares, who is presently on loan from the Gunners to Marseille, posted a message about the Portugal international yesterday night on Twitter.

The £7 million left-back typed, “What a player,” obviously paying attention to last night’s London derby between Graham Potter’s team and Fulham.

After seeing Felix play for Chelsea for the first 58 minutes, many people would have agreed with them.

He was a serious threat to Marco Silva’s team, causing a lot of fouls and inspiring Bernd Leno to perform at his best.

Few men in blue were able to match the 23-year-grace old’s as he frequently floated across the Craven Cottage floor.

Sadly, rather than his grace, his debut under Potter will be remembered for an unpleasant occurrence.

Tears are shed at Joao Felix’s Chelsea debut.
Following a poorly timed tackle on Kenny Tete, David Coote instructed Felix to take an early shower.

With a lunging tackle that was closer to the knee than the ankle, he attempted to make up for a sloppy touch.

The decision to display the red card was clear even with VAR.

The newest addition to Chelsea limped down the tunnel, visibly angry by the incident that ultimately cost his team the game.

Ten minutes before to Potter’s departure, Kalidou Koulibaly’s prodded effort from close range had given Potter’s team the equaliser.
But Fulham raised their game as a result of having an extra man, eventually taking the lead again on Carlos Vinicius’s header.

Potter suffered another another loss, which was made worse by the knowledge that he will be without Felix for the next three games.
