Championship: Queens Park Rangers 2 - 0 Luton Town

-

Queens Park Rangers climbed to fifth in the Championship with victory over Luton Town. 

Chris Willock gave the home side the lead with a perfectly-weighted dink over the onrushing Simon Sluga after a fine lofted route-one pass from deep by Ilias Chair in an entertaining first-half.

Charlie Austin buried his header past the Hatters' Croatian goalkeeper early in the second

Ilias Chair might have made it easier for QPR but his rising drive soared over early on.

Watch the highlights of the match in the video below. One QPR fan asked an interesting question in the comments section: "Are we brave or good enough to stay in top 6?"

Reaction

QPR boss Mark Warburton told BBC Radio London: "They were two really important goals as well, and at important times as well. The first one it was nice to see was a direct ball, it was a quick release and the keeper made Chris' mind up for him really, but he executed it well.

"We had that lead, we were a little bit loose at times as well and we gave them chances, but those are the fine margins in this league, this Championship is unique and sometimes you get punished but we weren't tonight.

QPR's Charlie Austin tweeted: "Great result tonight. Thank you for your patience."

One QPR fan replied: "You've earned the patience, great goal and performance. Also, try to listen to the fans in the ground more than on here, you know that's where the real knowledge resides and 3 sides sang your name tonight."

Luton manager Nathan Jones told a local radio station: "We have to show more quality. They've had two opportunities and won the game - that's just clinical, that's the way it is.

"We've had really good opportunities tonight - it's not like they've been half-chances, and I think if the shoe had been on the other foot they would've scored far more and that's the frustrating thing."

One Luton told us: "This was a decent performance at times. However, we lacked some composure in the final third."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
