Mark Hughes furious with officials

Hughes furious with officials

Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes was left furious with officials for allowing Mikel Arteta's goal to stand in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Arsenal.

The midfielder looked to have been offside when he poked home the winner on 83 minutes to leave the R's bottom of the Premier League table.

"The referee has absolutely killed it to allow their winning goal because Arteta was clearly offside on two occasions," said Hughes.

"I've been to see the referee in his dressing room and he has created some cock and bull story about Ryan Nelsen being off the pitch. I've no idea what he is going on about because Ryan Nelsen, at no stage, went off the field of play. It has cost us the point."

QPR have the chance to record their first win of the season next Sunday when they host Reading at Loftus Road.
