Queens Park Rangers Suffer Defeat Against Swansea City

Queens Park Rangers suffered a 1-2 defeat against Swansea City at Loftus Road on Tuesday night. The loss was sealed when Zan Vipotnik scored a controversial late penalty.

What happened?

The match started poorly for Queens Park Rangers, with Steve Cook gifting Swansea an early goal. Cook, who was making his 100th and final appearance for the club, slid in to try to clear the danger but succeeded only in tripping team-mate Rhys Norrington-Davies.

Key moments

The Brazilian winger Ronald could hardly believe his luck as he tucked his finish beyond home keeper Joe Walsh for his first goal since September. Swansea doubled their lead with a controversial late penalty tucked in by top scorer Zan Vipotnik.

Player performances

Steve Cook was given a standing ovation when he was replaced on the hour mark, despite his earlier mistake. Rumarn Burrell and Rayan Koli tried to hit back for Queens Park Rangers, but their efforts were in vain.

Queens Park Rangers will look to bounce back from this defeat in their next match. The team has little to play for, with both sides stuck firmly in mid-table.
