Queens Park Rangers have stunned Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in this evening's Premier League clash between the West London rivals.
Shaun Wright-Phillips came off the bench to grab the winner against his former club and give QPR their first away victory of the season.

The only talking point of an otherwise dull first half came with two minutes played when Marko Marin was lucky to stay on the pitch for his challenge on Stephane Mbia.
The German, who was making his Premier League debut for the home side, went in over the top of the ball but was only shown a yellow card by referee Lee Mason.
Chelsea upped the tempo at the start of the second half and they nearly took the lead as Victor Moses somehow failed to convert from five yards out.
The hosts were soon in the ascendancy and it was only the woodwork that kept the scores goalless in the 52nd minute.
Marin's corner was met by Branislav Ivanovic, but the Serbian's header clipped the top of the crossbar before going out of play.
QPR then had a number of chances to go in front as Esteban Granero, Jamie Mackie and Shaun Derry were all denied by a stubborn Chelsea defence.
The Chelsea fans had their celebrations cut short soon after as Frank Lampard had his effort correctly ruled out for offside.

The visitors then stunned the Stamford Bridge crowd with 12 minutes left on the clock when Wright-Phillips lashed the ball in from 20 yards following a corner.
Chelsea peppered the QPR goal late on as they tried to salvage something from the game, but the Premier League strugglers held on to claim three vital points in their fight for survival.
