How Richard Kone reacted to Rumarn Burrell brace for QPR - he's given him a nickname | OneFootball

Richard Kone dubbed QPR teammate Rumarn Burrell "Bagsman" following his brace in a 3-1 victory over West Brom.

Queens Park Rangers summer signings Rumarn Burrell and Richard Kone are forming quite the double act for Julien Stephan's side, with the former bagging a brace in Saturday's 3-1 victory over West Brom.

Burrell arrived from Burton Albion in the summer after being chased by Plymouth Argyle, and the R's will be delighted that they won that particular transfer battle, with the striker scoring nine goals in 19 Championship outings thus far.

Kone has been somewhat upstaged by his strike partner despite his much higher price tag, with just four Championship goals to his name, but his great work on Saturday helped set up both of Burrell's goals on Saturday afternoon.

The two young forwards are forming one of the most exciting partnerships in the Championship this season, and it seems like they're loving life working with each other.

Burrell took to Instagram after his brace against the Baggies, and his strike colleague was quick to comment, dubbing him a "bagsman", having netted eight goals in his last ten matches.

Burrell and Kone were two of the most prolific strikers in League One last season, and both earned big money moves to Loftus Road in the summer, from Burton and Wycombe Wanderers respectively.

Now, they are forming one of the most exciting striking duos in the Championship, with a combined 13 goals between them in the first 19 games of the season, nine for Burrell and four for Kone.

The two combined on Saturday to put West Brom to the sword, with Burrell scoring a brace thanks to the excellent support of the Ivorian alongside him, helping set up his teammate's double and earning the plaudits from his manager post match.

The QPR double act are clearly enjoying working together, with the goalscorer taking to Instagram following his brace, sharing a photo of him and the former Wycombe striker celebrating together.

Kone was quick to comment supporting his teammate, as he replied, "Bagsman 🔥", which is a very astute term to describe Burrell right now, given his stunning goalscoring form in recent weeks.

With QPR now sat 10th in the table, the optimism is beginning to grow around Loftus Road, following an inconsistent start to the campaign.

QPR fans should be hugely excited by Burrell and Kone partnership

It's been a long time since QPR have been competing towards the top end of the Championship, but it finally seems like they now have the squad to be able to do so this season.

Their summer shopping was extremely impressive, signing some of the best talent in League One in Burrell, Kone, and defender Amadou Mbengue who also arrived from Reading, and they're beginning to reap the rewards of this.

The striker partnership really showed its teeth on Saturday, and with Burrell in stunning form in front of goal, with Kone proving to be an excellent support, the sky really is the limit for these two players this season.

With that in mind, R's supporters should be hugely excited about what's to come in the near future, as both of their strikers are thriving in the Championship, and proving to be extremely shrewd pieces of transfer business.
