Queens Park Rangers owner Tony Fernandes has praised his side for claiming a point against Barnsley at Oakwell last night.

QPR had looked to be slipping to defeat against Barnsley, but they staged a late comeback to make sure they did not leave Yorkshire empty handed.

The Tykes had taken the lead in the contest, when Harvey Barnes curled in a great effort from range.

Barnsley kept hold of their advantage for the bulk of the encounter, but Luke Freeman rescued QPR late on.

Freeman netted a brilliant equaliser, and he was one of two players who received praise from Fernandes after the match, with Steven Caulker also earning credit.

QPR’s draw with Barnsley has seen them slip down to 13th place in the Championship table.

Rangers are next in action on Friday evening, when they take on Fulham it what should be a fiercely contested London derby.
