QPR got their season off to an excellent start, beating Leeds United 3-0 at Loftus Road. Here’s how we rated the Rangers players in Sunday’s victory.
Barely tested, but commanded his area well and his distribution continues to be outstanding.
Defended solidly and was involved in plenty of the action going forward.
Showed why boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has been delighted with Caulker in training and is keen to keep him. The centre-back looked sharp throughout and wasn’t afraid to bring the ball out of defence. His pass led to Jordan Cousins winning a penalty.
Was also composed at the heart of the Rangers defence, picking up where he left off last season.
A promising debut for the left-back, who showed glimpses of the tough tackling, marauding style which made him a fans favourite at Brentford.
Started rather than summer signing Cousins and justified his inclusion with an excellent performance in midfield. Never allowed Leeds to settle.
A terrific performance from the Australian. Hasselbaink wasn’t initially convinced Luongo was a viable option in central midfield, but he stood out towards the end of last season and started this term in brilliant fashion.
No shortage of effort, but his confidence appears to be low after being farmed out on loan last season. Lacked composure at times.
Always a threat to Leeds and was unlucky not to score a couple of times before his penalty made it 2-0. Showed poise and great awareness from the start to when he was substituted late on to a deserved ovation.
Inevitably raw, but the young winger did well on his senior debut. Has plenty of pace and wasn’t afraid to take people on.
Worked hard up front, constantly bothering the Leeds defence, and fully deserved his injury-time goal. And it was a beauty – a thumping strike into the top corner from a tricky angle after winning a challenge.
Very lively after coming on. Set up a chance for Chery and saw a shot of his own well saved by Rob Green.
Made an impact after coming on too, winning the penalty from which Chery made it 2-0.
