Jack Colback scored a late winner as Queens Park Rangers beat Blackburn Rovers and moved three points from the Championship play-off places. Substitute Colback's first-time finish from the edge of the 18-yard box gave Rangers their first points in three games.
Jack Colback struck an emphatic 76th-minute winner to move Queens Park Rangers three points from the Championship play-off places with victory over visitors Blackburn Rovers .
Fifth-placed Blackburn remain a point above West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough, both of whom have a game in hand and a significant goal difference superiority over John Eustace's side.Ilias Chair was a persistent threat for QPR, producing his fourth assist in seven games when his inswinging free-kick from the left was glanced in by fellow forward Frey for his seventh goal of the season.
The side who were second-bottom at the end of November went close again when Paul Smyth swerved a strike wide from just outside the box before Chair followed suit, having twisted skilfully to fashion space to shoot.Those misses appeared costly when Dolan took his chance to convert from the spot, scoring his first goal in 20 appearances following a foul by Koki Saito on Callum Brittain.
QPR’s 0-2 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday ended a five-game home winning run in the Championship. The Hoops haven’t lost successive home league matches without scoring within a single season in April 2023 .
