Media hyped Terry/Ferdinand handshakes - Roberto Di Matteo

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo says the media is at fault for hyping the pre-match handshake between Anton Ferdinand and John Terry, as QPR and Chelsea draw 0-0 at Loftus Road.

The Blues' 100% Premier League record this season came to an end against a resolute QPR, but the game was overshadowed by Ferdinand avoiding handshakes with both Terry and Ashley Cole before kick-off.

Di Matteo feels the players on both sides "behaved very professionally", and wants to "move on" from the incident.
