A second-half comeback gave Queens Park Rangers a 3-2 win over Brentford in the Championship on Saturday.

Queens Park Rangers returned to winning ways after they edged out local rivals Brentford 3-2 at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon.

Second-half goals from Massimo Luongo, Joel Lynch and Nahki Wells were enough to give QPR the victory after Neal Maupay’s opener gave The Bees a half-time lead.

A late consolation goal from Henrik Dalsgaard wasn’t enough to stop Rangers claiming all three points, with a section of supporters sharing their joy at the result via Twitter.

It’s the QPR’s first victory in six against their west London neighbours, and it puts Steve McClaren’s side just one point outside the play-offs, giving supporters further reasons to be delighted after a hard-fought win.
