QPR and Bristol City Share Spoils in Goalless Draw
Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City extended their unbeaten streaks with a 0-0 stalemate at Loftus Road. The Robins, under interim manager Roy Hodgson, have not suffered a defeat since his appointment and had won their first two games. QPR, meanwhile, remain unbeaten in five matches and welcomed back Rumarn Burrell from a three-month injury layoff. City dominated the first half, with Scott Twine's half-volley being their best chance, but QPR goalkeeper Joe Walsh made several crucial saves. At the other end, Kieran Morgan's shot went wide, and Richard Kone's header was saved by City's goalkeeper Radek Vitek. After the interval, Walsh continued to impress, pushing away a shot from Twine, while Paul Smyth sliced a shot wide. QPR head coach Julien Stephan introduced Burrell and Daniel Bennie midway through the second half, but despite their efforts, the visitors' defense held firm. Bristol City have now kept two consecutive clean sheets under Hodgson, who has brought stability to the team. The match ended with both teams working hard but creating few clear-cut chances. QPR's Stephan praised his team's effort, stating that the season is not over yet, while Bristol City's Hodgson felt that the teams canceled each other out, resulting in a fair draw.
