Late Onuoha goal gives QPR victory

Nedum Onuoha's 90th-minute header saw QPR snatch victory in a dour Championship game against Reading.

The captain profited from a mistake by Reading goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi to give Rangers a second successive win.

Centre-back Onuoha had earlier missed a glorious chance from a close-range header after Charlie Austin had flicked the ball on.

Nick Blackman had Reading's best chance when he hit the crossbar with a second-half free-kick.

Just as a game of limited quality and few chances looked set to end goalless, Onuoha rose at the back post to head in Alejandro Faurlin's deep corner.

Oman international Al-Habsi saw the ball squirm through his legs and across the line as Hoops interim manager Neil Warnock witnessed his side grab all three points.

Warnock appears certain to pass on the managerial duties to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in the coming days, with reports suggesting that the Burton Albion manager is likely to take over at Loftus Road.

Reading and QPR were both guilty of creating little quality in the final third.

Aside from Blackman's left-footed free-kick off the bar, Michael Hector headed chances from set-pieces wide in either half while substitute Hal Robson-Kanu screwed a left-foot effort wide from the edge of the area for the Royals.

Junior Hoilett had QPR's only other attempt on target with a tame left-foot shot in the first half.

Defeat sees Reading miss out on a return to the top six while QPR move to within two points of the play-off places.
