Match highlights of Rotherham United vs QPR
“Mass Luongo partnered Cameron in front of the backline while Luke Freeman began on the left, Ebere Eze in the centre and Pawel Wszolek on the right, behind Nahki Wells in attack.
“And they underlined that point within six minutes with a stunning goal from Will Vaulks, who found space on the edge of the box and drilled the ball beyond Lumley to give the hosts the perfect start. After a scrappy beginning to the game, it was a moment of real quality.
“Wells, who had tested goalkeeper Marek Rodak moments earlier with a close-range effort, got in behind the Rotherham backline on 12 minutes and drilled the ball beyond the home keeper from five yards out to level the game.
“But they were only level for three minutes as the hosts quickly regained the lead. Clark Robertson rose highest to head a looping effort beyond Lumley.
“Rotherham enjoyed a period of sustained pressure in the QPR half following their second goal, as the visitors battled to stay in the game.
“But on 90 minutes, Rangers finally got themselves back on level terms with an incredible diving header from Freeman at the near post, getting on the end of Bidwell’s wicked delivery.
“It was no less than the R’s deserved after knocking on the door for the final ten minutes.
“But Rangers still had to be alert and Lumley pulled off a great save in injury time to ensure a share of the spoils.”
