In the only Monday match of the English Premier League, Queens Park Rangers failed to break through Newcastle's defense at home: the match ended goalless 0-0.

Hosts were led forward by newcomer Shaun Wright-Phillips, whose header was slightly off target, and the ball was cleared off the goal line by a defender.

Jay Bothroyd shook the crossbar of Newcastle's goal, and on the other side of the pitch, goalkeeper Paddy Kenny denied Leon Best's attempt.

After the break, the game slowed down a bit, but a great attack almost ended in Wright-Phillips' goal from a distance.
