Enzo Maresca took a surprisingly positive stance after watching his Chelsea side collect yet another red card against Benfica on Tuesday night, joking that it’s “a good thing” they were finally able to win a match after being reduced to 10.
João Pedro was dismissed in stoppage time of a scratchy 1–0 Champions League win over José Mourinho’s visitors after collecting a second yellow card. The Brazilian was booked for a foul within seconds of his second-half introduction before getting penalised for a high boot with the match already won.
