Late moments, managers’ reactions and what comes next
As the hosts pressed for an equaliser late, Bennie’s swerving strike swung momentum back to the visitors and Kone’s stoppage-time finish sealed the points. Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic said: "Bad game for us, especially the last 10 minutes. We lost our balance and discipline on the pitch. We conceded a really cheap goal from the corner, from a throw-in - there is nobody on the midfielder and it is unacceptable. " The win keeps QPR’s hopes alive and hands Hull a defeat they will need to respond to in their next fixtures.
