Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has been handed a one-match touchline ban for dissent and over-celebrating a last-gasp goal in a 2-1 Premier League win over Liverpool on October 4, 2025.
Maresca will now be banned from the touchline for Chelsea’s match away to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Football Association on Wednesday announced the Italian was also fined £8,000 ($10,685), stating that the manager openly admitted the misconduct charge.
EPL: Liverpool suffer third successive loss as Estevao strikes late for Chelsea
He was given a yellow card for railing against a penalty decision and picked up a second one in the sixth minute of stoppage time for wildly celebrating Estevao Willian’s angled winner during a desperate onslaught.
Chelsea had lost their previous two matches before tackling Liverpool at home, and the win lifted them to sixth place at that time as under-fire Maresca avoided a third successive league defeat.
Maresca is reported to have told the Italian media that running down the touchline and celebrating with the players had been “an instinctive reaction” and added that it had been worth it even if he got sent off.
