QPR v Ipswich player ratings

Matt Phillips’ late goal gave QPR their first home win under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Here’s how we rated the Rangers players in their 1-0 victory against Ipswich. 

Alex Smithies: 8
Made fine saves in the second half to keep his side in the game and then to stop them from dropping more points at the death.

James Perch: 7
The right-back curled an effort just wide of the post before half-time after venturing forward. A solid all-round display.

Grant Hall: 7
Ipswich threw more men forward than many other sides the young defender has come up against, but Hall got through the task with ease – despite the tough conditions.

Nedum Onuoha: 7
Another strong display from the captain, whose partnership with Hall continues to blossom.

Paul Konchesky: 6
He’s struggled recently, but this was a slight improvement.

Alejandro Faurlin: 7
Took a knock from a heavy challenge in the first half, but recovered well enough to put in a solid display before being withdrawn just before the hour mark.

Massimo Luongo: 8
An excellent game from start to finish for the Australian who, but for a stunning save from Bartosz Bialkowski, would have given the R’s the lead in the opening minute.

Matt Phillips: 7
Struggled at times with his final ball, but was on hand to head home Rangers’ late winner.

Junior Hoilett: 7
Another lively performance from the winger, who came close with five first-half efforts; one of which he should’ve smashed home when left unmarked at the far post.

Sebastian Polter: 6
Worked hard again, but his lack of quality on the ball caused a number of good attacking opportunities to break down.

Conor Washington: 6
A bright display on his first start for the club. The striker created space for a chance in the second half, but unfortunately could only lift the ball over the bar as he fell backwards. His pace, movement and strength will be a real asset.

Daniel Tozser: 6
Brought on with half an hour to play and nearly settled the game with a stunning long-range strike. A lapse in possession shortly afterwards, though, could have been punished.

Jamie Mackie: 6
A workmanlike performance from Mackie, who chased and harassed the Ipswich backline as the R’s pushed for the win.

Nasser El Khayati: 7
His short debut couldn’t have gone much better. El Khayati’s neat footwork and cross set up the all-important goal.
