The Hoops stunned the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, and the former Tottenham Hotspur boss has urged his troops to build on to the impressive victory over Rafael Benitez’s men.
Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 head coach, Harry Redknapp, was extremely delighted with his side’s hard fought 0-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, January 2.
The 65-year-old tactician admitted that it was extremely difficult to convince anyone about their survival in the English Premier League following the 0-3 defeat at the hands of Liverpool on Sunday, December 30.
After Sunday's defeat by Liverpool it was difficult to convince anyone we could survive. But the players have set the standard with this win”, Redknapp was quoted as saying to reporters in the post-match press conference.
The Hoops have been struggling to compete in the highest echelons of English football since the start of the ongoing 2012/13 season. However, the 0-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 could prove to be the turning point for the relegation threatened side.
And the former Tottenham Hotspur boss admitted that it was pleasing to claim all three points away from home after such a long time, while insisting that his troops must continue securing good results in the remaining games of the season to avoid the drop to Npower Championship come the end of the campaign.
“You hope this can be a turning point. It is the first away win [in 24 league matches] so let's hope we can build on that. There is still a long way to go but it is encouraging. We had a good meeting after the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 game on Sunday. I think I convinced the players that we can stay up”, Redknapp concluded.
QPR failed to dominate proceedings at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, but their back-line put in a solid performance to help the team claim a good result. A http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shaun-Wright-Phillips-c33277 strike in the 78th minute against the run of play was enough to help the Hoops bag all three points at the end of 90 minutes.
The Hoops remain unmoved at the bottom of the Premier League table, but they have reduced the deficit from the safety zone to five points with the victory.
