Huddersfield Town defender Christopher Schindler has admitted that he was left bemused after being sent off during the clash against West Bromwich Albion.
Schindler was sent off during Huddersfield's 1-0 defeat of Albion on Saturday for two bookable offences but following the clash, the German defender has admitted that he was left surprised after being shown his marching orders for seemingly light fouls.
On his first ever red card, Schindler said: "This situation hasn't happened to me since I started playing senior football, and I have to learn from this now.
"These things happen in football, if someone else gets sent off I run harder than normal to compensate for that one man being lost. When I came off I was really, really upset. I was just hoping that we could keep the clean sheet.
"I think I made one foul in the first half which wasn't even a foul never mind a yellow card. He pulled me, and so I put my arm out as well, that is how we play in England.
"I got a booking for that? It doesn't matter anyway because I had to be more careful in the second half. For my second yellow, their player went through on goal, and there was some scrappy play. I thought I could get to the ball but didn't.
"The team put a lot of effort in to get the result over the line. Obviously I wanted to help them but I couldn't and it was frustrating."
