Highlights: Fulham 2-1 Chelsea -Fulham Victory Increases Pressure on Chelsea Manager Graham Potter as Team Struggles with Injuries and Poor Defense

- World Soccer Today -

Fulham defeated Chelsea 2-1 at Craven Cottage, with Chelsea playing with 10 players after Felix was given a red card.

 This loss adds more stress to Chelsea manager Graham Potter.

Fulham's surprising 2-1 win over Chelsea at Craven Cottage has intensified the difficulties for Chelsea manager Graham Potter. 

Chelsea's new forward Joao Felix was sent off on his debut, and a mistake from Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga led to the decisive goal for Fulham. 

Chelsea's poor performance resulted in their seventh loss in their last 10 games and Chelsea is currently in 10th place, 10 points behind the top four in the league.

 Potter had previously described managing Chelsea as "the hardest job in football" and this recent defeat has led to speculation about his future with the club, only four months after replacing Thomas Tuchel.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter is in dire need of a victory in their upcoming match against Crystal Palace on Sunday, as his team has only scored four goals in their last eight games across all competitions. 

The team has been struggling with injuries to key players, including N'Golo Kante, Christian Pulisic, Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, and Reece James.

 Potter has admitted that the team has been "suffering" and held a meeting with senior players Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic to try to resolve the crisis. 

However, Chelsea fans are losing patience with the team's poor performance, and the loss to Fulham, who are currently in sixth place, has added more pressure on Potter to avoid getting sacked. 

The debut of Joao Felix, who Chelsea recently acquired on loan from Atletico Madrid, was also cut short due to the red card he received in the match.

During the match, Chelsea's new player Joao Felix was given the freedom to move across Chelsea's three-man attack and demonstrated his speed and agility as he advanced into the Fulham area.

 He had several opportunities to score, including a pass to Kai Havertz whose shot was blocked and a shot that he fired wide. 

Despite Felix's efforts, Chelsea's defense had several vulnerabilities.

 Fulham's Bobby De Cordova-Reid hit the bar with a shot and Chelsea's defense made mistakes which led to Fulham's goal. 

Chelsea managed to equalize early in the second half, but Felix was sent off for a reckless tackle. 

In addition, Chelsea's goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga made a mistake that led to Fulham's winning goal. 

Chelsea fans sang songs mocking the team and Potter's future as a manager is uncertain.
