QPR are nine points clear of the relegation zone after winning at Burton. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player in the 3-1 victory.
Dealt well with high balls into his area and produced an important first-half save when he gathered at the feet of Lloyd Dyer.
Had a very decent game at the back. Rangers look much more solid with him there.
Had one of his better games for Rangers. Kept his concentration and also managed to play the ball out of defence well for the most part.
Had another solid game. Tidy on the ball and linked up nicely with Jake Bidwell on the left.

Had an excellent game on his return to the side. Defended resolutely and set up the opening goal for Aramide Oteh.
After a poor start, during which he twice gave the ball away sloppily, Scowen improved as the game wore on. Found Furlong with a lovely ball in the build up to the first goal and had a fine second half.
A great display, capped by his late goal to seal the win. Being rested last weekend seemed to do him good.
Another classy, creative display from Freeman, the highlight of which was a through ball to Washington to set up Rangers’ all important second goal.

Gave Burton nothing on the flank and got forward often too.
An impressive full debut for the 19-year-old, whose pace and enthusiasm up front was a major factor in Rangers’ win. He missed a great chance in the opening couple of minutes and ran out of steam prior to being taken off in the second half. But in between, he scored a goal and set up Conor Washington who hit the post after being found by a great ball from the youngster.
A successful return to the side for Washington, who was bright throughout. Having been denied by a near-post save from Stephen Bywater and having hit the woodwork, he got the goal deserved and then teed up Luongo for QPR’s third.
Brought on for Oteh in the second half just before Washington restored Rangers’ lead. What might otherwise have been a period of pumping balls towards Smith in the hope of a second goal therefore didn’t materialise and his involvement was limited as a result.
