QPR Official Site

Wayne Routledge's late winner was enough for ten-man QPR to extend their lead to eight points at the summit of the Championship.

A man down for fully 45 second-half minutes, the R's showed immeasurable character, grit and determination in front of the live Sky Sports TV cameras to claim victory.

Hogan Ephraim was sent off just before half-time, following a late challenge on Jimmy Kebe.

But QPR bounced back in style to pick up three more vital points.

Alejandro Faurlin's neat pass sent Newcastle United loanee Routledge through one-on-one with Adam Federici, before he made no mistake from 18 yards to clinch victory for Rangers.

QPR made one change for the short trip to Berkshire, with Rob Hulse replacing Ishmael Miller up front.

Paddy Kenny - with 16 league clean sheets already to his name this term prior to kick-off - was in goal for the Hoops.

Bradley Orr, Matt Connolly, Kaspars Gorkss and Clint Hill made up the R's back four.

Shaun Derry and Faurlin were in defensive midfield, behind the attacking trio of Routledge, Adel Taarabt and Ephraim.

Hulse led the Rangers attack.

Roared on by close to 3,000 travelling R's fans in the visitors' end, QPR almost edged in front on five minutes.

Following a free-flowing move, the ball eventually found its way out on the right to Orr, whose sweeping cross was glanced wide of the left-hand post by Hulse.

The R's were playing some lovely football early on.

Passes were exchanged between Taarabt and Faurlin on 25 yards, before the latter's curling shot went just over the target.

Chances were few and far between midway into the opening period but, if anything, QPR looked most dangerous going forward.

Indeed, the natives were growing restless, as Rangers limited the hosts to long-range attempts at goal.

The R's found their next opportunity by the most direct form of play.

Kenny's long-range clearance up field was superbly taken down by Hulse with his back to goal and, when he touched the ball back to Faurlin, the Argentine midfield ace found Taarabt 20-yards out, whose effort sailed handsomely over the target.

It took the Reading some 40 minutes to fashion their first effort on goal.

Ian Harte's long ball was brilliantly cushioned down by Shane Long for Simon Church, whose subsequent effort forced Kenny into a fine save, as the shot-stopper tipped the ball away for a corner kick.

The R's task was made all the tougher when they were reduced to 10 men three minutes short of the half-time whistle.

Ephraim was the man who was shown his marching orders, after he made a late challenge on Kebe when the ball broke loose in midfield.

Moments later, Reading almost made their numerical advantage count.

Kenny looked certain to deal with a clearance from deep that reached the left-hand side of his box, before the ball slipped out of the keeper's hands and Long nipped in to shoot.

But, thankfully for Kenny, the Royals front-man could only find the side netting - albeit at an acute angle.

Despite being a man short, Rangers didn't appear to be overawed by their disadvantage for the first 10 minutes of the second half.

Reading went close on 61 minutes.

Good work from Andy Griffin down the right saw him advance in line with the penalty area, before he cut in to brush aside Orr and drag an effort just wide of the near post.

The second period was one of exceptionally few chances, with neither side - understandably so in the R's case - giving an inch.

However, Rangers continued to threaten and they went extremely close through 67th minute substitute Miller.

Hill's long-throw from the left-hand touchline found the big striker with his back to goal from 10 yards, before Miller's spin and shot whistled just over the bar.

Rangers had shown great heart in the closing period and they found a much-deserved winner on 81 minutes.

It was little more than the R's warranted and sparked mass delirium amongst the R's masses, as Routledge got on the end of Faurlin's through pass, before smashing an unstoppable shot from 18 yards past the keeper and into the bottom left-hand corner.

Routledge nets QPR winner
On-loan winger puts Rangers in a commanding position

Wayne Routledge scored the winning goal for 10-men QPR as they beat Reading to go eight points clear at the top of the Championship.

Rangers played the entire second half at a numerical disadvantage after Hogan Ephraim was sent off for a rash lunge on Jimmy Kebe.

However, the visitors continued to play their trade mark attacking football and were rewarded when Routledge ran clear to fire the winner eight minutes from time.

Reading will be hugely disappointed that they were never really able to make their extra man as Rangers claimed their first ever win at the Madjeski stadium.

Warnock proud as punch
QPR manager enjoying every minute of title campaign


Neil Warnock was beaming with pride after his Queens Park Rangers team managed to beat Reading 1-0 with 10-men at the Madjeski Stadium.

Hogan Ephraim was dismissed three minutes before the interval for a rash challenge on Reading's Jimmy Kebe.

But Wayne Routledge duly stepped up to fire home the winner late on and extend QPR's lead at the summit of the Championship to eight points.
Desire

But it was their desire to win that pleased Warnock so much, as history repeated itself with them having a man sent off here last season, and again this season at Loftus Road.

"I can't be any prouder of my team, substitutes as well," he told Sky Sports.

"I thought that it was a magnificent performance. I thought we were the only team that looked like they wanted to win.

"The sending off just got us going. At half-time I said to them 'don't lets be negative, lets try and win the game, we did it at home with 10 men'.

Disappointed

"I was disappointed with the sending off, it was two wingers going for it. I think I've seen yellow for them before, but [Matt] Mills just flew at the referee and mouthed off at him."

He added: "I'm just enjoying it, even tonight with 10-men. If we would have lost the game 1-0 like we did last year after going down to 10-men here I couldn't have complained because we gave absolutely everything.

"Playing as good as that and trying to win the game - I couldn't be any prouder."

Wayne Routledge hit a late winner as 10-man QPR moved eight points clear at the top of the npower Championship with a decisive 1-0 win at Reading.

Rangers played for nearly 50 minutes with 10 men after winger Hogan Ephraim was dismissed for an ugly lunge on Jimmy Kebe at the end of the first half, but struck with eight minutes left to move a step closer to promotion.

Reading had been on the back for foot for the opening half-hour but rallied to create the best chances either side of the red card.

But Neil Warnock's side refused to sit back in the second half and claimed the three points when Routledge capped a rare move of quality with a fine low finish.

Warnock is looking for the seventh promotion of his managerial career but was furious with the decision to dismiss Ephraim and was lucky not to be sent-off himself.

His side should have had a fifth-minute lead when right-back Bradley Orr was given far too much room to send in a cross which Rob Hulse should have sent on target instead of heading wide.

Playmaker Adel Taarabt looked the most likely source of a goal and he came close with a strike from 25 yards which was over the top after good play from Alejandro Faurlin on the left.

Reading had hardly been out of their half for 10 minutes but Simon Church then tested Paddy Kenny with a fine strike on the half-volley.

The home crowd were revived and from the corner Matt Mills saw his header at the far post well saved by Kenny, while Simon Church could not smuggle the rebound over the line.

The momentum was all Reading's and Ephraim was soon back in the changing rooms.

He looked to break after a knock down from Hulse but his touch let him down and the winger lunged dangerously in on Kebe in his efforts to retrieve the ball and was shown a straight red card by referee Russell Booth.

Warnock was far from happy and his side were in danger of losing their cool as several players from both sides crashed into challenges.

Shane Long should then have scored just before the break when Kenny misjudged a bouncing ball, but the Republic of Ireland international hit the side-netting from an acute angle.

Warnock sent out his 10 men after the break and to his credit pushed Taarabt right up alongside Hulse.

Mills almost stole onto a quick free-kick from Ian Harte as the game hit a lull, before an already angry Warnock hit boiling point when Reading midfielder Jay Tabb was not booked for a cynical foul on Taarabt.

The former Sheffield United manager was lucky not to join Ephraim in being dismissed after hurling a water bottle in frustration.

Booth was back in the spotlight on the hour mark when Long went down under a challenge from Orr inside the box but the referee this time waved away the protests.

The game looked set for a goalless draw until Rangers stole the points with an 82nd-minute winner.

Inevitably Taarabt was involved and after he turned well on the left and found Faurlin, the Argentinian released Routledge in on goal with a perfect through pass.

The Newcastle loanee had plenty to do but drove his shot firmly past Adam Federici and into the bottom corner to send the points home to Loftus Road.

Stunning QPR win with 10 men
By Paul Warburton

Reading 0-1 QPR

A BRILLIANT rearguard action from QPR in the second half saw them beat Reading for the THIRD time in two seasons with 10 men.

The odds on beating the same team with a man missing three times must be a few million to one - but perhaps Wayne Routledge had a bet, because the Rs man took his winner superbly on 81 minutes when he was put through by Alejandro Faurlin to fire just inside the far post.

By then Rs had been playing with a man short for nearly 40 minutes after Hogan Ephraim got his marching orders for a rash tackle on Jimmy Kebe.

But the never-say-die spirit of the leaders saw them regroup and more than hold their own, even if the first 45 minutes had started badly and got worse.

Inside four minutes Clint Hill saw yellow for a scything tackle on Jem Karacan. But Rob Hulse, in for Ishmael Miller, won't be best pleased when he looks back on the glancing header that should have been in the back of the net rather than rattling the advertising boards behind the goal.

The malaise quickly caught hold with Clint Hill also pointing his forehead a few degrees too left, and then unmarked Kaspars Gorkss missed the ball entirely as he tried to meet an Adel Taarabt corner.

But the real drama was reserved for the last five minutes when Paddy Kenny parried a point-blank header from Simon Church and got his feet in the way of the follow-up.

Seconds later, Ephraim chased a ball and only connected with the legs of Jimmy Kebe with a lunging right foot. Referee Russell Booth couldn't get the red card out quickly enough.

The Rangers winger was on the receiving end just before that when he dummied past Matt Mills only to be cynically bodychecked. Another three yards nearer goal and by half time it would have been 10-a-side.

Even against 11, Rangers pressed on - and Routledge's strike engraves another letter on the Championship trophy.

Wayne Routledge's late strike settles QPR's war with Reading

After witnessing the sound and fury of Neil Warnock throughout this contest the suspicion arose that the Queens Park Rangers manager was surely born with his own set of in-built Beta-blockers.

Until Wayne Routledge's 82nd-minute winner eased the pressure on Warnock's heart this was a match that had morphed from the phoney war of the opening 35 minutes into a powder keg that threatened to go off at any moment.

Then, the Championship leaders finished their week by making it a perfect six points from their two league outings when Adel Taarabt threaded the ball to Alejandro Faurlín who released Routledge, before the winger slid a cool finish beyond Adam Federici.

Before this Warnock had bubbled and seethed as the referee Russell Booth appeared to join the teams by losing his calm when least needed during a hectic period before the break.

Hogan Ephraim was late when tackling Jimmy Kébé on 43 minutes but deserved only a yellow card. Instead, Booth reached for the red to send Warnock ballistic in his technical area: he may have been wondering why Matthew Mills had received only a caution moments earlier when as last man he had yanked down Ephraim.

Factor in Booth adjudging that Routledge had later fouled Mills when the replay indicated Reading's captain jumped out of the way and there was enough incident for Warnock to carry on the argument in the tunnel as the teams trooped off.

Before all this his side had just about edged the first half, although Reading might have scored. Their best chance arrived when Simon Church forced a crucial save from Paddy Kenny which conceded a corner. From Ian Harte's delivery the ball was twice cleared from close to the line. First when Ivar Ingimarsson made Kenny produce another stop. Then, when Church, again, had a further effort blocked.

For QPR, as has been the tale of the season, their prospects of victory had been all about how well Taarabt might play. At the start of the meeting with Portsmouth at Loftus Road on Tuesday the 21-year-old had floated across midfield in a quest for ball and space. Yet, when successful, his runs were not always matched by a colleague operating on a similar wavelength to the playmaker.

That match turned when, at half-time, Warnock instructed Taarabt to stick to a wide-left berth, from where the Morrocan scored the opener, as well as creating Clint Hill's clinching goal.

Here Taarabt started and stayed in this position and his quick brain and feet were again in evidence. As the pivot in a one‑two with Faurlín he released his team-mate before the midfielder unloaded a left-foot effort that had Federici watching the ball carefully as it flew over.

When the sides emerged for the second half Warnock continued his running battle with the fourth official. When Jay Tabb pulled down Taarabt around the centre circle Warnock went apoplectic when Booth refused to book the Reading midfielder.

Yet he did manage some self-restraint: appearing keen to punch Kevin Wright, the fourth official, Warnock instead off‑loaded a furious one-two that was aimed in Wright's general direction but never came close to touching him.

Warnock could count some blessings when Shane Long – who had hit the side-netting in the first half – was felled by Bradley Orr in QPR's area but Booth refused the penalty appeal.

At the close Warnock celebrated as if his team had secured promotion to the Premier League. Continuing winning like this and they will do.

QPR Official Site - Warnock's Comments

WARNOCK: ‘ONE OF THE BEST’
Posted on: Fri 04 Feb 2011

Neil Warnock saw his ten-man QPR side pick up a late winner and dubbed it as 'one of the best' of his managerial career.

Wayne Routledge's 81st minute strike clinched victory for the R's, on an evening when Warnock's charges had to overcome a Hogan Ephraim red card just before half-time.

Rangers boss Warnock told http://www.qpr.co.uk: "It was 90 minutes full of emotion.

"We always have to come up against the odds when we play at Reading.

"I was a bit disappointed with the sending off. It was a bad tackle but one that involved two wingers.

"Matt Connolly was fouled 90 seconds previously, and the referee didn't give it.

"I said to the lads at half-time that 'I want to win the game.'

"I thought we deserved to win tonight. We played good football, even with 10 men."

Warnock added: "I would have given Ali Faurlin 12 out of 10 if I could.

"And I don't think that Paddy had a save to make in the second half.

"That is what we're all in the game for. You can't beat how I'm feeling tonight.

"I thought that my players outstanding. They were all heroes tonight.

"The subs, everybody!

"This is one of the best results of my career. It certainly feels like that."

Brian: We should have done more

Royals boss Brian McDermott was very disappointed his team did not take an opportunity that came their way in our home 1-0 defeat to League leaders QPR.

The visitors had Hogan Ephraim sent off just before half time, but we could not press home our one-man advantage and, although Rangers have the best defensive record in England, we were disappointed not to have worked visiting 'keeper Paddy Kenny sufficiently.

Rangers then took all three points in the 81st minute as Wayne Routledge finished off a nice move, inflicting only our second defeat in 16 games.

McDermott said, "At half time the game was there to be won, it's a real opportunity and we should have taken it. We're better than that, we're really disappointed because when they went down to ten men we didn't make their 'keeper work.

"Second half we didn't play well enough, didn't pass it well, didn't get it wide often enough, didn't get enough shots off. I could live with losing if we'd made a better fist of it.

"They had one opportunity and took it, that shows why they'll probably win the League this year."

The decision to dismiss Ephraim did not prove to be to our advantage in the end, and Brian said, "I think now I'd rather he'd booked him! We played a lot better when it was eleven against eleven. The decision didn't do us any favours, sometimes it's harder to play against ten but we should have moved them around more.

"He [Ephraim] is not that type of player, I know that, but he's definitely caught Jimmy. He's chased after the ball, mistimed his tackle and a lot of referees would have got the red card out."

Rangers showed great resilience to grind out an important win, and they now look odds-on to be playing in the Premier League next season. McDermott said, "Credit to them, they've shown real resolve, done a really good job, I'm sure that's why they'll go up. This is a tough place to come and they'll be delighted.

"They've got good players, good nous, they head it, kick it and do what they have to. Their team cost a lot of money to put together. We're a growing team, we're learning.

"My players have been fabulous over many games, this was a one-off 45 minutes and we'll learn from it.

"If we'd got the first goal it was a different game, but I can see why we've been beaten."

He continued, "We've taken one point from two games against Cardiff and QPR, the two top sides, we thought we should have had at least four. All we can do is look forward to the Norwich game next weekend and doing our stuff."

Shane Long looked to have been tripped inside the box when the scores were 0-0, but Brian refused to refer to that as a turning point. "I don't know about that, it doesn't matter. We have to not just cling on to shouts like that, we have to be better and we will.

"The players are desperately disappointed, they're better than that and they know it themselves. Now we have to go to Norwich and show it."

A full post-match video interview with Brian is online now on Reading FC Player.

Gylfi Sigurdsson's 85th minute penalty proved to be the difference between battling ten-man QPR and Reading, as the R's left the Madejski Stadium with nothing to show for a determined second-half display.

It was harsh on Neil Warnock's charges, who spent the entire second period a man short following Damion Stewart's sending off just before the half-time whistle for a second-bookable offence.

Rangers had their chances to snatch victory after the break, namely when Jay Simpson blasted over from close-range following Hogan Ephraim's effort that was parried away by Adam Federici.

However, despite holding out for 40 minutes after the interval, Sigurdsson was on hand to blast home from the spot after Matt Hill was adjudged to have brought him down in the box.

R's gaffer Warnock named an unchanged starting XI at the Madejski Stadium.

Carl Ikeme was in goal for QPR, behind a back four of Matt Connolly, Stewart, Kaspars Gorkss and Hill.

In midfield, Adel Taarabt and Ephraim started on the flanks, with Mikele Leigertwood and Alejandro Faurlin in the centre.

Tamas Priskin and Simpson headed the Rangers attack.

In front of watching R's Chairman Ishan Saksena - who took his place amongst the QPR masses in the away end - it was the hosts who fashioned the first chance of the opening period.

After Gorkss gave away a foul around 25 yards from goal, Brian Howard stepped up to fire in at goal a curling free-kick that went inches wide of Ikeme's left-hand post.

Reading, in truth, started the brighter of the two sides - as you would expect from a team that had won six of their last seven league games in the Coca Cola Championship.

However, it was the R's who were next on the attack.

Lovely play from Taarabt and Faurlin allowed Simpson to find space down the right, though when he fired a cross in from the byline, the striker was unable to find a red-and-black-hooped shirt in the box.

It was an opening that gave the R's a bit more belief, and after Priskin touched the ball back to Taarabt on the edge of the area, the Spurs loanee blasted low into the hands of Federici.

Moments later, the same two nearly combined again when Taarabt played in a delightful centre from a free-kick on the left into the path of the Hungarian, before the ball was blocked out for a corner.

From the resultant kick, QPR missed a golden opportunity to open the scoring.

Taarabt once again played provider, and when Gorkss nodded back across the face of goal from the back post, Priskin could only blast high and wide of the target.

Soon after, Priskin found the ball around 25-yards out before firing in a shot on the half volley that was well caught by Federici.

R's midfielder Taarabt was seeing a lot of the ball, and his sublime assist soon after should have resulted in QPR taking the lead.

And after some more typically magnificent skills, the magical Moroccan executed a through ball to Simpson that few players in the Championship would be able to see, let alone execute.

However, through on goal with only Federici to beat, Simpson could only fire straight at the keeper 12 yards from the net.

Just before half time, Rangers were dealt a massive blow when they were reduced to ten men after Stewart was shown his marching orders.

After blocking the path of Federici when the keeper tried to clear his lines quickly after an R's corner, the referee was left with no choice but to produce a second booking and a red card.

Similarly to in the first period, Reading started the second half in positive mood.

Midfielder Sigurdsson played a lovely through pass to Jimmy Kebe on the edge of the penalty area, before he blasted low and straight at R's stopper Ikeme.

Soon after, Reading went even closer when Shane Long found possession out on the left, before he cut in on the edge of the penalty area to bend an effort just wide of the right-hand upright for the hosts.

The home side, by now, were now trying to make their one-man advantage count, and Ryan Bertrand's centre from the left somehow evaded a whole host of Reading players in the box.

QPR didn't sit back despite Stewart's first-half sending off, however, and moments later they almost snatched the lead.

After Taarabt's corner was cleared only as far as Ephraim on the edge of the penalty area, the midfielder unleashed a stinging shot that Federici could only parry into the path of Simpson, but the striker - albeit at an acute angle - blasted over from close range.

Though it was Reading who were seeing more of the ball, and only two superb goal-line clearances stopped them from taking the lead.

First, Sigurdsson cut in from the left before unleashing a thunderous drive at the top right-hand corner that looked to be heading for net before Hill stooped to clear the ball away from goal.

And, after the ball was cut back from the left, Bertrand's stinging effort also looked destined to find the goal before Gorkss put his head in the way to guide the ball to safety.

However, with just five minutes remaining Reading snatched all three points.

After Hill felled Sigurdsson in the penalty area, he dusted himself down before firing the ball into the top left-hand corner of the net.
