Joao Felix is off the mark for Chelsea after expertly breaking 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 offside when he pounced again in the 16th minute – and this time it stood.

Britain’s most-expensive footballer Enzo Fernandez whipped in an inch-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.

VAR was once again called in to verify the strike, but this time it was all good as the officials gave it the green light.

However, West Ham fans were fuming as they believed another Chelsea new boy – Mykhailo Mudryk – should have been penalised in the build-up.
