QPR boss Neil Warnock was pleased with the performance of Anton Ferdinand after defeat to Tottenham.

Warnock praised the character and performance of Ferdinand, who last week was the subject of an alleged racial slur by John Terry in QPR's 1-0 win over their west London rivals at Loftus Road.

"I thought he (Ferdinand) was head and shoulders above everyone else - the man of the match," Warnock said.

"I don't think he made a mistake. He hasn't put a foot wrong since he came here.

"He definitely has the potential to play at the top level and England.

"It was a great performance from him today.

"Did I think that (the race row) affected Ferdinand today? Not at all. He was absolutely magnificent. It doesn't affect us at all.

"It speaks volumes about his character, absolutely."

The FA will continue their investigation into the race row this week, but Warnock does not envisage the saga affecting his team's efforts on the pitch.

"We have moved on already," the Rs boss said

"It's not our problem. I don't see the time frame of it all really.

"I have a day off tomorrow. I am going to go in the park and have a ride on my bike, I won't be thinking of anything but the deer tomorrow."
