QPR hold lacklustre Chelsea to a goalless draw

London: Anton Ferdinand's snub of John Terry in the pre-match handshake overshadowed Chelsea's 0-0 draw at local rival Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, a result that ended the European champions' perfect start in the English Premier League.

Terry was also booed and jeered throughout a game played in a hostile atmosphere at Loftus Road, two months after being acquitted in court of racially abusing Ferdinand in the corresponding league match last year.

After opening with three straight wins, Chelsea will be happy with a draw after seeing QPR waste great chances in the second half through Park Ji-sung and Bobby Zamora.

Eden Hazard came closest to scoring for Chelsea, which stays top of the standings on 10 points.
