Schindler had a poor game, which was punctuated by his needless foul on Alonso in the area.

With the Spaniard already shaping to shoot, he should have instead remained on his feet in an attempt to block or deflect the forthcoming effort, rather than sliding in recklessly and running the risk of conceding a spot-kick.

The referee had no choice but to point to the spot, from which Jorginho scored and you sense the two team-talks would have been dramatically changed following his challenge. Huddersfield were still in with a chance at just a goal behind, but 2-0 down against a side of Chelsea's quality, even at home on the opening weekend of the season, is a tough ask.

One completed tackle and clearance, two interceptions, four blocked shots but crucially, one needless foul mean the 28-year-old's entire defensive display was rendered ineffective.
