UK Papers: Brawl Erupts at QPR and Crystal Palace's Christmas Party

Football has hit the front pages of a British newspaper on Tuesday, and as is usually the case, front-page news does not make for good news. 

The Sun's splash has been revealed and it claims that a "boozy Christmas party" for QPR and Crystal Palace players descended into a brawl. 

We only have the minor front-page details at the moment, but the report claims that "a brawl erupted when a woman spilt a drink on QPR defender Rio Ferdinand."

The report also says England defender Steven Caulker was rushed to hospital with "head injuries" and that Joey Barton "acted as peacemaker."

Moving to the back pages and there is lots of praise for Robin van Persie after his two goals for Manchester United downed Southampton.

Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool can go on and win the Champions League if they beat Basel.

And Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is remaining defiant despite fan criticism.
