Charlie Austin scored a late winner against his former club to help QPR produce one of the narrow football scores of the weekend in the Championship. He came on from the bench to head in Chris Willock’s cross for the only goal of the game with less than a minute left on the clock. The win helped Rangers leapfrog West Brom into fourth on the table.
Managers Reaction
QPR’s Mark Warburton: “If that’s a turning point then there are turns in every single game. Some of the free-kicks that were given I’d have to question. Some decisions have not gone our way this season. That’s football and Valerien will know that. To a man, we defended our goal very well and attacked it with real purpose. I thought we showed a good team too much respect in the first half. What we had to do was up the tempo, get on the front foot and move the ball quicker with a bit more pace and purpose.”
West Brom’s Valerien Ismael: “This is the big frustration for us. We should have had a penalty, it was very clear. I think the game changed with the penalty. It was a clear penalty for us on Townsend. It was 100 percent a penalty. There are no two meanings to the situation. Then two minutes later you have the goal. It was a good game for us. We played very well and had a chance with Matt Phillips.”
