QPR came from behind to win their final home match of the season. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player in the 3-1 victory over Birmingham.
A mixed afternoon for the young keeper. Lumley had no chance with the Birmingham goal and was lucky to get away with a poor attempt to block Jota’s tame secon- half effort. But he saved very well from Maxime Colin and Jota late in the game.
Solid at the back and worked well to get forward. He’s behind Darnell Furlong in the race for right-back next season, but he’s shown that he can be a dependable replacement.
Another fine display from the R’s youngster. With James Perch and Nedum Onuoha departing, and Jack Robinson also likely to leave, Furlong could be a great option at centre-back as well as right-back next season.
Nearly capped an excellent display with a goal, but David Stockdale produced a stunning save from the defender’s second-half header.
Deployed at left-back, the versatile Manning put in an excellent performance. He galloped forward on several occasions and produced some solid defensive work too.
Worked hard to protect the R’s backline, which in turn allowed his side’s full-backs to push higher up the field.
A busy display nearly was rewarded with a second-half screamer, but Stockdale was equal to it. His cross to set up Ilias Chair for Rangers’ second goal – his 13th assist of the season.
A positive performance from Chair; an assist and his first goal for QPR. It was his good work to recover Freeman’s cross that set up Bright Osayi-Samuel for QPR’s first and then he slotted home the second after again latching onto a Freeman cross.
During an excellent first half, Eze was able to drift around the pitch with ease and showcase his sublime footwork. However, he found the going a lot harder in the second half.
A very ‘Bright’ afternoon for Osyai-Samuel, who scored his first QPR goal and was a nuisance throughout the game. Another positive sign for next season.
A quiet afternoon for Sylla. Failed to register a meaningful effort on goal, but his movement allowed Osayi-Samuel and Eze to find space.
Came on to a rapturous applause in the second half on his final appearance for the club at Loftus Road. His one telling contribution was a typically robust challenge as the R’s saw out the victory.
It was so nearly the perfect send-off for the hugely popular forward, but he was just unable to turn two efforts home.
Came on late in the game and scored QPR’s third to seal the win.
