Mark Mc Guinness rises first for Luton and connects to the cross but it glides over the bar. QPR 2-1 Luton Could that have been it? ! A Luton corner finds Elijah Adebayo but he can't generate the power on his low ball to threaten and QPR keeper Paul Nardi gets down to smother it on the line. Seven minutes added to the clock. There's time. QPR 2-1 Luton A defensive change for QPR sees Jake Clarke-Salter in for Kieran Morgan. They want to see this game out but easing back cost them in the first half. Could it prove costly again? QPR 2-1 Luton Phil Parry BBC Radio London commentator The QPR fans are singing 'getting sacked in the morning', they sang that last time these two sides met. The pressure is continuing to build for Rob Edwards if QPR can hold on here. QPR 2-1 Luton Lamine Fanne, Reuell Walters and Tom Holmes are withdrew for Luton. Daiki Hashioka, Jordan Clark and Cauley Woodrow are brought on to hunt an equaliser but not before there's confusion on the pitch to delay their introduction. Again, more time taken from the visitors hands. QPR 2-1 Luton A long diagonal ball is sent towards QPR substitute Koki Saito and it results in successive corners for the home side. They don't amount to much but they do take seconds away from Luton, seconds they need to take advantage of if they are to avoid a fourth defeat in as many matches. QPR 2-1 Luton Jamal Fyfield Braintree Town defender on BBC Radio London The game is really stretched now. There are last-minute tackles and last-minute headers everywhere. QPR 2-1 Luton Luton's Elijah Adebayo is introduced for Marvelous Nakamba. Jacob Brown shortly follows him to replace Zack Nelson. QPR 2-1 Luton Ooph. Substitute Alfie Lloyd has two massive opportunities to get the home side a third in quick succession but neither make it. The first is lifted above the keeper but drifts inches off the mark, while the second is struck with force but only onto the wrong part of the post. QPR 2-1 Luton More QPR changes. Harrison Ashby and goal scorer Michael Frey make way for Jack Colback and Alfie Lloyd. QPR 2-1 Luton Luton frontman Carlton Morris almost finds a quick leveller after getting ahead of his man at the back post but sees his header denied by lively QPR keeper Paul Nardi. The rub of the green is choosing its side and it's not on the visitors. QPR 2-1 Luton Justin Dealey BBC Three Counties Radio summariser That is cruel! Luton deserved to get back in to it at 1-1 and QPR have barely had a sniff this half. It was a comfortable save for Thomas Kaminski, but the deflection just took it away. They have come back before, they can do it again. I think there is more goals in this game yet. Morgan Fox (62 mins) QPR defender Morgan Fox gets his first goal of the season, essentially, for free. Ilias Chair's shot at goal is heading well wide of its target but does find Fox's legs en route to divert into goal past an unprepared Luton keeper Thomas Kaminski. Completely accidental but one QPR will gladly take given how this second half has been unfolding. QPR 1-1 Luton There's a slight pause in play to sort a nasty cut to QPR forward Paul Smyth's face but he's up and off. He departs alongside the booked Jonathan Varane while on comes Koki Saito. New Southampton loanee Ronnie Edwards is also on to make his debut. QPR 1-1 Luton QPR regain some possession and head to the other side of the pitch. Tahith Chong fouls the home player to see his name in the book and a free kick awarded the other way. Also, to no avail for the taker. QPR 1-1 Luton Luton debutant Lamine Fanne hasn't had much involvement in his introduction to the away crowd, and that attempt at goal won't leave much of an impression. He drives the ball into the centre of the six yard box but scuffs his shot far off target. Overall though, things are looking much better for the visitors. QPR 1-1 Luton Phil Parry BBC Radio London commentator The Luton fans are getting some encouragement from how their team has come out in the second half. QPR haven't really got going and have barely got out their own half. It give more encouragement to a Luton side that were second best for the majority of the first half. The momentum has swung, but can change back around quite quickly. QPR 1-1 Luton QPR midfielder Jonathan Varane trips Zack Nelson not too far outside the box. He earns a yellow card and Liam Walsh gets a free-kick to take. Fortunately for Varane, Walsh's attempt smacks into the blue and white wall. QPR 1-1 Luton Right, here we go again. Will QPR's dominance on the ball prove fruitful in the second half or has that equaliser forced Luton into a higher gear? HT: QPR 1-1 Luton Phil Parry BBC Radio London commentator No doubt Marti Cifuentes will have to lift his team to come out and start the second half. It is just what they didn't need going in at half-time. Last Updated 6th January 2025 at 21: 48 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
