Chelsea and Schalke kicked off their respective Champions League campaigns with a closely contested 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
A well-worked but contentious Cesc Fabregas goal had given the Blues a first-half lead, his superb run and finish allowed despite a clear foul on Max Meyer in the buildup.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar—booked for protesting Chelsea's opener—drew Schalke level just after the hour mark. Having helped dispossess Fabregas, he fired in down the other end after a great run by Julian Draxler.
After their poor start to domestic affairs in Germany, Schalke will be pleased with a point at the Premier League table-toppers. Chelsea will be left to rue a clutch of missed chances that might have earned them the win.
Read on for winners and losers from this Group G encounter.
