Watch Joao Felix score first Chelsea goal after stunning Enzo Fernandez assist vs West Ham – but should it have stood?
JOAO FELIX is off the mark for Chelsea after he expertly broke the deadlock against West Ham.
Felix, 23, joined the Blues on loan until the end of the season last month from Atletico Madrid.
He suffered a nightmare debut for Chelsea as he was red carded at Fulham and was subsequently issued a three-match ban.
However, the Portuguese ace was back in Graham Potter’s line-up for Saturday’s lunchtime clash with the Hammers.
And he needed less than 20 minutes to make an impact.
Felix had already had one disallowed for being offside when he pounced again in the 16th minute – and this time it stood.
Britain’s most-expensive footballer Enzo Fernandez whipped in a perfect ball towards the back post.
And Felix crept in through the defence to volley it past Lucasz Fabianski to officially get up-and-running for Graham Potter’s side.
