Queens Park Rangers — my EPL side on account of staying in their neighborhood during my first visit to London (in 1993) — may well have saved themselves from relegation by coming back from a 2-0 deficit late in yesterday’s match against Liverpool.
QPR boss Mark Hughes insists the fightback his side produced to beat Liverpool 3-2 will give them renewed belief in their relegation battle. The Loftus Road side came back from two goals down to beat the Reds.
“This is just the beginning as we have a huge job in front of us but this will give us great belief,” said Hughes. “The players know we are in a huge battle to stay in the league but if we play like we did in the last 20 minutes we have a good chance.”
The victory moved QPR out of the relegation zone and provided only a second league win for Hughes since he took over from Neil Warnock in January. [BBC Sport]
