Warnock hails "great day" for QPR

Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock describes his side's victory over Chelsea as a "great day for the football club".

Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock was delighted with his side's 1-0 victory over Chelsea this afternoon.

Hosts QPR scored the only goal of the game courtesy of a penalty from Heidar Helguson after nine minutes against nine-man Chelsea, who had Jose Bosingwa and Didier Drogba sent off before the break.

Speaking to Sky Sports News after the match, Warnock described the result as a "dream".

"[The win] was fantastic for the fans," said the boss. "Let's be honest, you don't get a result like we did too often.

"To get three points against Chelsea is like a dream. We've got to take that on board and do that more often at home.

"It is just a great day for the football club."

Today's win was QPR's first at home in the Premier League.
