celebrations during his post-match press conference at Craven Cottage but did not mention, or was not aware, that he would have to serve a ban.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Mail Sport checked with the FA, who confirmed on Sunday night that his three booking would equal a single game stricken from the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-1fbd32c54bae18f2\"

walked across the pitch and down the tunnel, rather than joining in with his team.<\/p>\n<p>                    Share or comment on this article:<br \/>\n                        Chelsea boss Enzo
