Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has been hit with a one-match touchline ban and an 8,000 fine after admitting to a misconduct charge for his emotional celebration during the 2-1 win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on October 4, 2025.
The Football Association confirmed the punishment on Wednesday, October 15, explaining that Maresca's behaviour in stoppage time was considered improper conduct.
The drama unfolded in the 96th minute, right after Estevo Willian smashed home a late winner from Marc Cucurella's assist. Overwhelmed by the moment, Maresca sprinted down the touchline, fists in the air, joining his players in wild celebration.
