QPR hit back to claim first home win

QPR came from behind to beat Wigan 3-1 and clinch their first home league win under boss Mark Warburton.

Cedric Kipre’s first goal for Latics put them ahead after just two minutes at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

Wigan, who have now lost on 18 of their past 24 visits to London, went in front when Rangers failed to deal with Danny Fox’s right-wing corner and Kipre blasted in.

Goalkeeper David Marshall misjudged Ryan Manning’s ball from the left and Dominic Ball nudged it back from the far post towards Wells, who finished from close range.

But Hugill made amends by collecting Eze’s pass and side-footing beyond Marshall and in off the far post.

Chair headed wide from Marc Pugh’s cross and Wells shot wide following a slick Rangers move involving Pugh and Manning.

Rangers did look defensively vulnerable at times and almost went further behind when Michael Jacobs’ shot from a tight angle struck the near post.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
