Chelsea Manager Enzo Maresca Receives One-Match Ban

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca will serve a one-match touchline ban after receiving his third yellow card of the season for his exuberant celebrations following Pedro Neto's stoppage-time winner in the 2-1 victory over Fulham. Referee Anthony Taylor, who has booked Maresca twice this season, showed the card after Maresca and his staff spilled onto the pitch during the dramatic finish. The ban means Maresca will miss Chelsea's crucial upcoming match against Everton as the team vies for a Champions League spot. Maresca stated that he celebrated passionately because he wanted the players and fans to share the moment, but admitted he 'over celebrated.' Assistant manager Willy Caballero is expected to take charge on the touchline in Maresca's absence. The timing of the ban is challenging for Chelsea, who are in a tight race for European qualification.
