Chelsea striker Liam Delap was sent off during his return from injury in a 4-3 victory against Wolves at Molineux.
Delap received two yellow cards in quick succession for fouls, leading to his dismissal in the second half.
Manager Enzo Maresca criticised Delap's actions, calling the fouls "stupid" and the red card "embarrassing."
The sending off means Delap will face a one-match suspension, missing Chelsea's upcoming Premier League match against Tottenham.
This incident continues a trend of ill-discipline for Chelsea this season, with several other players and the manager also receiving bans.
