  1. Manager reactionpublished at 19:41 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "Sergio Aguero is a fantastic player and he played very well. He scored two goals, he had two more chances, one cleared off the line, so it really was a great performance. He is a top player. He played very alone in attack.

    On Chelsea: "I am not worried about Chelsea. They are in a very good moment. We will see if they can continue that until the end of the year. We are just thinking about our team and returning to our style of play.

    "It was a very difficult week. We didn't have 72 hours to recover physically and mentally from another game but we tried until the last minute to win. We had clear chances but when the ball doesn't want to go in, it is difficult to score."

  2. Manager reactionpublished at 19:40 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "It was a good game for the fans. We are continuing to be very unlucky.

    "We had three or four clear chances to score and didn't. Then we were 1-0 down.

    "But this team are demonstrating that we are fighting. We are in an unlucky moment. We are not playing very well but we had enough chances to win this game.

    "It was the same against West Ham, where their goalkeeper was the best player. These 15 days (the forthcoming international break) will be useful to us to return to our normal style of play."

  3. Player reactionpublished at 19:38 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Bobby Zamora says QPR should have had all three points this afternoon, he is disappointed.

    "In the last four games we should have had a hell of a lot more points but this is a big point for us. It would have been a great scalp, they have had a tough week."

    Edin Dzeko lasted less than four minutes after coming on as a substitute before he was replaced because of injury. Check out his touch map.

    Jamie, Eastleigh: Looks like Southampton will be in second place for a few more weeks yet. It's all going well for Saints fans!

    Chris, West Sussex: This season's awards can be handed out already. Player of season: Sergio Aguero; Manager: Ronald Koeman; Best keeper, David De Gea; Title: Chelsea.

    Sam, Manchester: I'd take Matija Nastastic (remember him!?) in defence with Eliaquim Mangala at left-back right now, Gael Clichy is in shocking form at the moment. Also, congrats Jose Mourinho I guess.

    QPR striker Charlie Austin on the disallowed goal: "I had no idea it would be disallowed, you could see that from my celebration - I turned around and saw no one was with me. I just thought shoot. I thought it had put us 1-0 up but unfortunately not."

    Alex Smith:, external Sergio Aguero is what Luis Suarez was for Liverpool last season. Manchester City's saviour.

    Kevin Unitt:, external Chelsea will walk the league despite spending only £9m net this summer. Less than half a Dejan Lovren. A third of an Eliaquim Mangala.

    BBC Radio Manchester summariser Fred Eyre at Loftus Road

    "That would have been a magnificent goal from Yaya Toure to win it (see 90 mins), I think Joey Barton saved two points for his side with that block, it was a wonderful challenge.

    "Under the circumstances the result is a disappointment for Manchester City. You come here expecting to win, but there is no divine right and QPR could easily have come away with all three points.

    "Joe Hart is just now on the field showing his opposite number Robert Green how he managed to take that free-kick (see 17:38), and now he is explaining it to Charlie Austin. All controversy apart this was a magnificent advert for Premier League football. Every player gave 100%, on both sides."

    A nice moment as the players head from the field. Joe Hart and Charlie Austin discuss that goal which never was (17:38). I think they'll agree to disagree on the merits of it all.

    What did you make of that then? Without Sergio Aguero, Rangers would surely be celebrating three points now.

  13. FULL-TIMEpublished at 19:22 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    All over. Pulsating stuff.

  14. Postpublished at 19:22 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Jesus Navas crossed. Cleared.

  15. Postpublished at 19:22 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Ball comes into the QPR box. Cleared. City attack again. Time for another Aguerooooo moment?

  16. Postpublished at 19:20 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Corner comes in and Rob Green easily catches Martin Demichelis's looping header.

  17. Postpublished at 19:19 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Sergio Aguero with another shot, this time outside the area, and again it's blocked. Corner.

  18. INJURY TIMEpublished at 19:19 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Four minutes left. Yaya Toure pulls the trigger in the area but Joey Barton slides across to block it. Alamo.

  19. Postpublished at 19:17 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    Eduardo Vargas with a low cross, put behind for a corner by Eliaquim Mangala. The centre comes in and Charlie Austin flicks it wide.

  20. Postpublished at 19:16 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014

    City are just pumping the ball forward now - and it's unsettling Rangers. Equally, QPR look a constant threat at the other end. One last twist?
