Shaun Derry: 'Queens Park Rangers struggled against nine men'

Shaun Derry admits that Queens Park Rangers struggled to cope with nine-man Chelsea at Loftus Road this afternoon.

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Shaun Derry has claimed that his side struggled at times against nine-man Chelsea this afternoon.

Rangers eventually won the contest at Loftus Road 1-0, despite visiting Chelsea dominating large parts of possession.

"The dynamics of the game changed massively," Derry told Sky Sports News. "They went from 11 to nine very quickly.

"Sometimes it knocks you off track and perhaps it did us at times.

"But we don't care because we're 1-0 victors over our rivals."

The three points have lifted QPR up to tenth in the Premier League table.
