The sanctions come after the Italian coach’s animated touchline behavior after their late winner, with FA regulations stating that managerial behaviour must uphold the game’s integrity. An official FA statement read: “Enzo Maresca has been given a one-match touchline ban and £8,000 fine for misconduct during the Premier League game between Chelsea and Liverpool on Saturday 4 October.” “It was alleged that the manager acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour during the fixture, which led to his dismissal around the 96th minute.” “Enzo Maresca subsequently admitted the charge and accepted the standard penalty.” Chelsea will now not have their manager on the touchline for their next Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest this Saturday at the City Ground.

According to FA Cup rules, the home club must provide up to 15% of the tickets to the away team if requested properly, but Arsenal failed to do this. The Professional Game Board and the FA investigated and gave Arsenal a suspended £500,000 fine, meaning Arsenal only has to pay the fine if they make the same mistake again in future FA Cup rounds. pic.twitter.com/jtCT2GPBWQ — FA Spokesperson (@FAspokesperson) October 15, 2025 Want to get the latest Liverpool news direct to your phone?
