Enzo Maresca of Chelsea handed touchline ban for Nottingham Forest clash following excessive goal celebration

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca received a one-match touchline suspension on Wednesday due to dissent and excessive celebration of a late winning goal in their 2-1 Premier League victory against Liverpool on October 4.

The Italian coach will now miss the touchline for Chelseas Premier League away fixture against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

In addition he faces a fine of £8000 ($10685) and the Football Association noted that Maresca accepted the charge of misconduct without dispute.

Maresca earned a yellow card for protesting a penalty call and received a second in the sixth minute of added time for exuberantly joining the players in celebrating Estevao Willians angled strike amid a frantic push for victory.

Chelsea had dropped points in their prior two games before hosting Liverpool and this success propelled them to sixth in the table at that point sparing under pressure Maresca from a third straight league loss.

Reports indicate Maresca shared with Italian press that sprinting along the sideline to join the celebrations was a natural impulse and he felt it was justified regardless of the red card consequence.
