When Estevao Willian slid in a 96th minute winner against the Merseysiders, Maresca ran down the touchline and jumped into his celebrating players, while hugging Chelsea fans in the front row.

In a statement, the FA wrote: "Enzo Maresca has been given a one-match touchline ban and an £8,000 fine for misconduct during the Premier League game between Chelsea and Liverpool on Saturday 4 October.
