Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca to serve one-game touchline ban after being booked celebrating Pedro Neto's late winner against Fulham

Enzo Maresca will serve a one-match touchline suspension after Chelsea’s head coach picked up his third yellow card of the season while celebrating Sunday’s dramatic late victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Maresca was booked by referee Anthony Taylor as he burst out of his area and ran down the touchline towards the away fans following Pedro Neto’s stoppage-time strike in what was a must-win to keep his side in the chase for the Champions League. Chelsea’s entire bench also erupted as they spilled on to the pitch.

Maresca was previously shown yellows in Premier League games against Bournemouth by Taylor and Newcastle by Simon Hooper.
