Queens Park Rangers beat west London rivals Chelsea for the first time in 16 years with a 1-0 win at Loftus Road in their Premier League derby clash.
Chelsea’s nightmare afternoon began when Heidar Helguson converted the soft penalty he won off David Luiz after 10 minutes and continued when both Jose Bosingwa and Didier Drogba were sent off before half-time.
Defeat for the Blues saw them spurn the chance to go second in the league, two points clear of champions Manchester United. A famous win for QPR moved them into the top half of the table and banished memories of their last London derby, a 6-0 drubbing at Fulham.
