QPR contain Hotspur in a goalless draw

What a match - if QPR from the rock bottom of the points table can contain the third placed Tottenham from scoring, it is a big achievement.

And this is what it was when the two met Saturday. If QPR could not score - that wasn't any news as what could you expect from a team sitting nat the 20th position on the points table.

But when their defenders spoiled every effort by the Spurs and left them goalless against them when the final whistle blew, that was a news making whistle as it left Hotspur high and dry without a goal against QPR.

As Mail Online reports:

From time to time they would go through some counter-attacking motions, and in the 11th minute Shaun Wright-Phillips actually forced a drive which was deflected for a corner. 

But, by and large they simply lined up behind the ball, denied Spurs their essential space and placed survival at the top of their priorities.

In fairness, they were exceedingly efficient. The defenders understood their roles, while in midfield the strength of Stephane Mbia was constantly influential.
