The match at Stamford Bridge in round 7 of the Premier League seemed to end in a draw, but in the 90+6 minute, young Brazilian star Estevao Willian scored the winning goal to seal a thrilling 2-1 victory for Chelsea against Liverpool. |
The goal made the entire Stamford Bridge stadium explode, and coach Enzo Maresca could not control his emotions. |
He ran along the touchline to join his students, recreating the classic celebration image of Jose Mourinho in 2004 when he and Porto eliminated MU in the European Cup right at Old Trafford. |
However, Maresca's joy was not complete. Referee Anthony Taylor showed a second yellow card and sent Maresca off. This was the fourth time Chelsea had been sent off in the last five matches in all competitions. The result resulted in the Italian strategist being banned from coaching the match against Nottingham Forest on October 18. |

Assistant Willy Caballero spoke on behalf of the press after the match and admitted: "He understands his mistake. In moments like that, emotions overwhelm reason. But immediately after, Enzo regained his composure, praising the whole team for their great effort." |
With this victory, Chelsea temporarily relieved the pressure after the 1-3 defeat to Brighton last week. For the first time since 2014 under Jose Mourinho, Chelsea have won 2 consecutive matches against Liverpool in the Premier League. In the last 5 trips to Stamford Bridge, "The Kop" lost 2 and drew 3 matches. |
For Liverpool, this was their third consecutive defeat in just seven days, following a 1-2 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League and a 0-1 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League. Despite spending £446 million in the summer transfer window, coach Arne Slot's team is in serious decline. |
Meanwhile, Chelsea won their third Premier League match of the season, and perhaps the image of coach Maresca "transforming into Mourinho" on the pitch will be remembered forever for an emotional and brave night for "The Blues". |
