According to reports, Enzo Maresca witnessed his team dramatically defeat Fulham at Craven Cottage in the West London derby. Chelsea were trailing until the final seven minutes, but Tyrick George equalized before Pedro Neto scored the winning goal in the 93rd minute.

This crucial victory helped the Blues climb to fifth place in the Premier League standings, keeping them in contention for a UEFA Champions League spot. However, they will be without their head coach in their upcoming match against Everton on Saturday.

The reason for the Italian manager’s absence is that Maresca received a yellow card from referee Anthony Taylor during the celebrations following Neto’s late winner against Fulham. Chelsea’s bench erupted after the Portuguese player’s goal, with some members running onto the pitch, ultimately leading to the manager being cautioned. As a result, he will have to guide his team from the stands due to the suspension.
