Half-time: Norwich 1 QPR 1
Bobby Zamora’s equaliser meant QPR went in at the break on level terms at Carrow Road.
The striker’s first goal of the season came after Norwich had punished some slack Rangers defending to go ahead in the 12th minute.
Fabio, playing at right-back in place of Nedum Onuoha, was sucked into the middle, enabling Anthony Pilkington to collect Robert Snodgrass’ pass and cross from the left for Simeon Jackson to head home from close range.
Rangers were handed a lifeline six minutes later, when Sebastien Bassong, making his Canaries debut, was adjudged to have fouled Djibril Cisse in the area.
The resulting spot-kick from Cisse was pushed onto the post by keeper John Ruddy, but Zamora was on hand to rifle the rebound into the far corner of the net.
Rangers keeper Rob Green produced a decent-looking save late in the first half, pushing over Snodgrass’ 25-yard effort.
