6-1 victory for Chelsea
Chelsea have demolished Queen's Park Rangers, winning 6-1 at Stamford Bridge. The result is a boost to their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League and thus qualifying for next season's Champions League.
It couldn't have been worse for QPR who are desperately trying to avoid relegation to the Championship.
The first goal came from Daniel Sturridge just 46 seconds in. John Terry also scored while Fernando Torres got a hat-trick. Malouda netted goal six.
QPR pulled one back through Djibril Cissé in the 84th minute.
There was no handshake between the two sides to avoid any chance of it affecting Chelsea captain John Terry's upcoming trial. The defender denies a charge of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand in October.
