Schalke striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has blasted his side's defending for Chelsea 's opening goal in Wednesday's 1-1 Champions League draw at Stamford Bridge.
Max Meyer lost possession to Cesc Fabregas inside his own half in the build-up to the Spaniard's goal and Huntelaar has warned his team-mates to stamp out such errors in future.
"We did a great job, especially in the second half. We were a bit insecure in the first half, though, and conceded a stupid goal," Huntelaar told the official Uefa website.
"It was similar to last season. We need to stop that, because if not we give away easy goals.
"But we managed to make up for that well. We fought and ran a lot. When we got the chance to score, we took it."
The Dutchman then went on to praise his side's courage as they fought back to salvage a 1-1 draw, with Huntelaar himself netting the equaliser.
"You just go into the match and we told ourselves that we wanted to give all we had. We knew that if we stayed in the match anything could happen and we saw that if you fight and don't give up you can achieve a draw here."
