While I head for the hills with a copy of the FA rulebook, here's the Match of the Day running order.

    Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart on the disallowed goal: "I was aware that Charlie Austin was ready to pounce, so I was trying to watch Mangala, who I was trying to pass to. I was calm because I knew the rules. I had obviously touched it twice with both feet. It was a mistake and not something that is ideal but rules are rules.

    "I explained to Charlie at the end what had happened because obviously he was a bit confused."

    What next for Manchester City then? After the international break, they host Swansea before welcoming Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Then they face a trip to Southampton at the end of the month. Tricky times.

    Muhammad Owais:, external City are in a bad place. Defenders are not performing well and they are out of confidence. But they will be back.

    Anthony Ismail:, external Southampton are keeping the season interesting!

    Ashley Williams:, external Van Gaal and Pellegrini are both struggling after massive spending. When does the pressure start?

    "Brilliant to see Hawkeye working at Anfield. Imagine if that had been working when Luis Garcia scored that famously controversial goal against Chelsea in the 2005 Champions League."

    An interesting stat for you... Only Les Ferdinand (13 in 1995-96) has bagged more goals in the opening 11 matches of a team's Premier League season than Sergio Aguero has managed this season (12).

  12. Manager reactionpublished at 19:51 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Here's more from QPR manager Harry Redknapp: "Before the game we'd have taken a point but when went 2-1 up felt three points were there for us.

    "We worked hard, pressed and closed and overall it was a great performance. We played well against Chelsea and it was an incredible game against Liverpool. We should have had another three or four points.

    "We were playing the champions and we should take a point but when you play as well as we have … they looked under the cosh at 1-0.

    "A second goal would have really put them in trouble, But that's why they are champions, they came back - and the little fella they've got up front is a genius."

    QPR manager Harry Redknapp on Sky Sports: "I felt once we got 2-1 up we'd go on and win the game but they are always dangerous.

    "Charlie Austin, was it a goal, wasn't it a goal? We played ever so well. You can't relax against a team with so many quality players but I'm so proud of the players tonight.

    "The fourth official told me straight away that Joe Hart had two touches. I couldn't see what happened but if that's the rule there's nothing we could do about it.

    "Charlie Austin gets better every game. Playing with Bobby Zamora is excellent for him, his confidence is high."

    "Last year Brendan Rodgers overachieved with his Liverpool team. He had two strikers on top of their games, world-class players, Gerrard was brilliant last season but he has been worked out this. He was poor today. Liverpool overachieved, simple as. And Rodgers has overpaid for players like Louvren and Markovic."

    Leigh Myers:, external City will get better, Chelsea will drop points and the table means nothing till May. Chelsea can't get complacent

    Abdulahi:, external Southampton don't need to beat any of the big clubs to finish in the top four. They just have to beat all the lesser teams.

    Abdul Kabir:, external Charlie Austin must be knocking on the England team door and getting the attention of Roy Hodgson?

    "Chelsea always seem to have another gear in reserve. It's like watching that Manchester United team of old. You know they will come at you, be relentless, will get a goal eventually and will go on to win the game."
