Overview
- Estevao, on as a substitute, scored a stoppage-time winner by turning in Marc Cucurella’s cross at Stamford Bridge.
- Enzo Maresca sprinted down the touchline to celebrate and was shown a second yellow card upon returning to the bench, resulting in a red.
- The red card carries a one-match touchline suspension, so assistant coach Willy Caballero will oversee the next game against Nottingham Forest.
- Former PGMOL chief Keith Hackett criticized referee Anthony Taylor’s decision to dismiss Maresca, describing the call as avoidable.
- Maresca had earlier received a first-half booking for protesting over an Alejandro Garnacho penalty appeal, and Chelsea’s win came despite fresh defensive injuries and recent mixed results.
