Ipswich Sink QPR 4-1 With Hirst and Nunez Braces at Loftus Road

The result underlines Ipswich's growing momentum after an inconsistent start to life back in the Championship.

Overview

  • George Hirst headed Ipswich in front after just 68 seconds, their first away opener of the season.
  • Rumarn Burrell levelled midway through the first half after Christian Walton pushed out an Ilias Chair shot.
  • Marcelino Nunez restored the lead with a free-kick early in the second half, Hirst made it 3-1 on 57 minutes, and Nunez sealed it with another free-kick seven minutes later.
  • The victory makes it back-to-back wins for Ipswich following a patchy start after relegation from the top flight.
  • QPR's struggles at Loftus Road continued with only two wins in their past 12 home league games, and reports again linked Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna with Celtic.
