QPR boss Warnock: Beating Chelsea greatest day of my career

QPR boss Neil Warnock isn't surprised Chelsea counterpart Andre Villas-Boas blamed ref Chris Foy for their defeat.

QPR won 1-0 yesterday thanks to a Heidar Helguson penalty that was awarded for a needless David Luiz challenge in the eighth minute.

Warnock said: "It's the greatest day of my career, because of the importance to the fans.

"I know they've had two men sent off, but it's still difficult coming up against that.

"We stressed before the game that it wasn't an ordinary match. We started well, got about them and deserved the goal when it came.

"They're a great side even with nine men, but we missed opportunities to finish the game off.

"We had to show a lot of character and guts today. These top sides aren't used to having their feathers ruffled.

"They'll be talking about this in 30 or 40 years. We've shocked a few people today, especially the bookies."
