The match, which had been evenly matched at 1-1 going into stoppage time, saw Estevao Willian steal the limelight with his extra-time winner. Having left his technical area, the Chelsea boss was given a second yellow card, his first having been issued earlier for overly enthusiastic appeals for a penalty.The sending off means Maresca will serve a touchline ban after the October international break when Chelsea face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

However, given his team's impressive performance, it's unlikely that Maresca is too concerned about that right now.After two consecutive Premier League losses, the three points are a significant boost for Maresca, with Chelsea climbing to sixth place.The odds were firmly stacked against the Blues throughout the clash with Benoit Badiashile and Josh Acheampong, Maresca's starting centre-back partnership, both forced off through injury.The two defenders join Tosin Adarabioyo, Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, and Trevoh Chalobah in being unavailable, though the latter pair are anticipated to return within a fortnight.Enzo Maresca joined in the celebrations after Estevao Willian's last-minute winner (Image: Getty Images)One individual who will be unable to influence matters is naturally Maresca after he received two yellow cards.Cole Palmer has been absent from Chelsea's previous two fixtures and whilst there remains optimism he could return following the two-week domestic break, the most recent update from Maresca indicates otherwise."Cole is still out," he acknowledged before the match.
