Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was left fuming over Liam Delap's late red card in Wednesday's 4-3 League Cup win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, his team's fifth red card in the last nine matches.

Striker Delap, making his comeback from a hamstring injury after nearly two months as a second-half substitute, got booked when he pushed Yerson Mosquera in the 79th minute. He then fouled Emmanuel Agbadou just seven minutes later and got sent off.

"For sure, today also we had a very stupid red card that is completely unnecessary," Maresca told reporters.

Asked whether the red card was deserved, the manager said, "Absolutely yes. Stupid foul."
