Luton beaten at in-form QPR to pile further pressure on Edwards


QPR condemned Luton to a 10th defeat in a row away from home as they beat them 2-1.

Michael Frey opened the scoring for QPR, albeit via a goal that should have been ruled out for handball, before Mark McGuinness levelled for the Hatters.

Morgan Fox then sealed the win in fortuitous circumstances in the second half, as a long-range Ilias Chair drive flew in off his heel.

A fourth defeat on the bounce leaves Luton in 20th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone. Pressure continues to pile on Rob Edwards.

Rob Edwards cannot believe his luck as QPR go back in front against Luton in ridiculous fashion

It was an action-packed first half. Jimmy Dunne saw his header brilliantly tipped onto the bar by Thomas Kaminski before somehow missing a follow-up sitter, blazing over the Luton goal.

QPR then did take the lead as Frey got onto the end of a cross at the far post, controlling and finishing from a narrow angle. There were questions that he handballed bringing it down, but it wasn’t spotted by the officials.

Mark McGuinness leaps above everyone to equalise for Luton against QPR just before half-time.

Luton then found a leveller on the stroke of half-time, as McGuinness rose highest to head in a corner.

QPR retook the lead in the most fortunate of circumstances as Ilias Chair’s shot from 25 yards following a free-kick took a wicked deflection off the heel of Fox, leaving Kaminski stranded on the wrong side of his goal as it rolled in the other. It moves Marti Cifuentes’ side up to 13th in the table.
