Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes has described his side's performance as "excellent" after they drew 0-0 with Premier League leaders Chelsea.

The R's held their own against the Champions League winners at Loftus Road to earn only their second point of the new season.

"Today we acquitted ourselves really well - we were assured and calm and we dictated to the European champions for long periods," Hughes told BBC Sport.

"Credit to the players, I thought the performance was excellent. It's early days for us but I have seen improvements in every game we have played and it's only a matter of time before it all comes together."

Despite the goalless draw, QPR remain in the relegation zone.
