( CNN ) -- Rafael Benitez was only just beginning to win over Chelsea 's supporters -- now he 'll have to do it all over again . The Spaniard , who replaced Roberto Di Matteo as interim manager at Stamford Bridge in November , could only look on in horror as his side suffered a humiliating home defeat by Queens Park Rangers . It will do little for Benitez 's popularity with many Chelsea supporters still angry at the removal of Di Matteo and the arrival of the former Liverpool manager . `` A lot of things went wrong today , '' Benitez told reporters . `` We knew we were playing against the bottom of the table side and we spoke about that . `` We knew we had to be focused but we did not have the tempo and some players may have been tired . `` It was going wrong against a side who played deep and were organized . '' This was supposed to be a routine victory for Chelsea against a Rangers side which had managed just one league victory all season . Redknapp returns to EPL management with QPR job . Bottom of the table and favorite for relegation , Harry Redknapp 's side faced its west London rival as huge underdog . After all , last season 's European Champions League winners had won their four previous league games , including an impressive 2-1 triumph at Everton last Sunday . Even with Benitez 's decision to rest the likes of Eden Hazard , Ashley Cole , Ramires and Juan Mata , Chelsea was expected to see off a QPR side which had already lost 12 of its 20 league games . Not since 1979 had Rangers won in the top-flight at Stamford Bridge and few gave them a chance of claiming a first away success of the league campaign on this occasion . After conceding three goals against Liverpool during an embarrassing first half performance on Sunday , there was a more resilient look to this QPR side . The home side were fortunate not to be reduced to ten men on four minutes when Marko Marin threw himself into a wild and dangerous challenge on Stephane Mbia . The Germany winger was shown only a yellow card for the tackle , which could easily have resulted in a straight red . While Chelsea had plenty of possession and worked goalkeeper Julio Cesar on a couple of occasions , the home side was unable to muster that moment of magic to claim the lead . Lampard double inspires Chelsea . Lampard thought he had put his side ahead on 66 minutes only for his effort to be ruled out for offside . Chelsea 's failure to turn possession into goals allowed their opponent to grow in confidence . Suddenly , QPR began to look dangerous on the counter-attack , soaking up pressure before pushing forward in search of an unlikely winner . That winner did eventually come with 12 minutes remaining and when it arrived , it was provided by a man who used to wear the Chelsea blue . Shaun Wright-Phillips , who spent three years with the club between 2005-2008 , showed his former employers how to finish , slamming home from 20-yards to send shockwaves around Stamford Bridge . The result leaves QPR five points adrift of safety with league games against Tottenham , West Ham and Manchester City to come this month . Quite what Chelsea 's prospective signing Demba Ba thought of the team 's performance is unknown , but with the Newcastle striker sat in the stands , the Blues flattered to deceive . While Ba was busy watching Chelsea , Newcastle was suffering a 2-1 home defeat by Everton . Papiss Cisse had given Newcastle a second minute lead before Leighton Baines ' stunning free-kick and Victor Anichebe 's strike won it for Everton . David Moyes ' side are now just two points behind fourth place Chelsea , while Newcastle sits two points above the relegation zone . Chelsea striker Sturridge joins Liverpool . Elsewhere , Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 win over Sunderland thanks to two goals from Luis Suarez . The Uruguay international took his tally to 15 Premier League goals for the season with Raheem Sterling having opened the scoring on 19 minutes . Liverpool , which completed the $ 19.6 million signing of Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge Wednesday , now sits eighth in the table . Manager Brendan Rodgers also confirmed that midfielder Joe Cole is holding talks with former club West Ham after enduring an unsuccessful spell at Anfield . He told reporters : `` I spoke to Joe earlier . He is a really good lad and has been brilliant during my time here in terms of as a human being . `` He is obviously speaking with West Ham at the moment and if they can get something organised , it will be a terrific move for Joe .
