Enzo Maresca handed touchline ban and slapped with fine by FA over red card against Liverpool

Enzo Maresca will have to watch Chelsea’s match against Nottingham Forest from afar.

The Blues boss has been hit with a one-game touchline ban by the FA as a result of his red card against Liverpool on October 4.

Maresca’s actions have also earned him a £8,000 fine.

Why was Maresca sent off?

The 45-year-old was given his marching orders when he channelled his inner Jose Mourinho after Estevao scored a second-half stoppage time winner to help Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-1.

As Estevao and his teammates celebrated in the corner, Maresca was seen hurtling down the touchline to get in on the joyous scenes.

But once he returned to the Chelsea dugout at Stamford Bridge, referee Anthony Taylor brandished Maresca’s second yellow card of the evening having been booked earlier in the contest.

Maresca’s red card was the fourth time in five games a Chelsea figure had been sent off, with Joao Pedro, Trevoh Chalobah and Robert Sanchez all experiencing the ignominy of an early shower.
