LIVE: QPR vs Preston North End

Neither Browne or Ledson gather the ball after Riis held it up and passed. QPR work it down the left, Chair’s shot deflects up into the six yard box and Hughes manages to head away under pressure. But, Andersen runs on to the loose ball and drags his first time shot, just, wide.

Lyndon Dykes’ first half strike proves enough.
