Queens Park Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to his side’s win against Norwich City at home on Saturday afternoon.

Rangers returned to winning ways in the Championship with a 2-1 victory over Norwich at Loftus Road.

The Canaries went down to 10 men after just two minutes when Martin Olsson was sent off for handling the ball on the goalline. Tjaronn Chery failed to convert the subsequent penalty, though, sending it wide.

QPR did take the lead in the game on 21 minutes when Conor Washington found the net, and Sebastian Polter doubled the advantage six minutes later.

Steven Naismith halved the deficit for Norwich in the 78th minute, but Rangers held on for the three points.
