Enzo Maresca sent off after an emotional victory

According to The Sun: Enzo Maresca received a red card when he ran along the touchline after Estevao's winning goal against Liverpool.

The Brazilian became the hero of the match, converting a pass from Marc Cucurella in the 95th minute.

This caused a real commotion at Stamford Bridge, where Maresca joined in the celebrations.

Returning to his bench, the Italian received a yellow card, which was already his second in the match.

As a result, the coach will be suspended for one match.

Assistant coach Willy Caballero will now lead the Chelsea team in their next match against Nottingham Forest.

Maresca is probably not too worried about it, as his team achieved a dramatic victory over the title race leaders - Liverpool.

Before the match, the situation weighed heavily on the coach, as the team had suffered two consecutive defeats in the Premier League.

The importance of this victory increased even more after injuries to Benoit Badiashile and Josh Achiampong in the second half.

This left the 'Blues' with only one healthy central defender, Yorrell Hato, while Reece James had to cover a partner's position.

The situation in Chelsea is further complicated by the absence of several key players, including Cole Palmer, Liam Delap, and Trevoh Chalobah.

Now the team has only two healthy central defenders left - Hato and Axel Disasi, who is listed in the quarantined squad.

Given the injuries and suspensions, the club will have to try to find an optimal solution for the lineup to support a successful season. The next match against Nottingham Forest will undoubtedly be a test for assistant Caballero and the entire team.
