Nahki Wells and his Queens Park Rangers (QPR) teammates fine form continued with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Millwall at Loftus Road.
Two quick first-half goals from Massimo Luongo and Eberechi Eze was enough to give QPR a convincing victory.
The win lifts Rangers up to 16th in the Championship and means they have picked up 10 points from a possible 12 in the last four matches.
Steve McClaren opted to make one change for the London derby. Geoff Cameron came in for his full debut and replaced the fasting Tomer Hemed who dropped to the bench.
Saturday’s match-winner Eberechi Eze was deployed in a more central role, playing just off Nakhi Wells, who has added the extra spark for Queens Park Rangers.
In the 28th minute patient QPR build up saw a good opportunity created for Jordan Cousins. After a nice spell of possession Wells unlocked the defence with a cute through ball and Cousins drew a good save from Amos. The resulting corner would give the R’s a deserved lead!
Freeman’s clever cut back saw Wells in space and the loanee’s deflected shot fell into the path of Luongo who headed past Ben Amos from close range to put McClaren’s side one up.
Two minutes later it was 2-0 and QPR were cruising! Wells won the ball in midfield and drove forward putting in a cross that was headed away but Bidwell did well to keep the move alive. He found Eze and the former Millwall man’s deflected left-footed volley bounced over Amos and gave him his third goal of the season. Loftus Road was buzzing!
