Match in Five Sentences: Queens Park Rangers beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Ewood Park. Ryoya Morishita put Blackburn ahead in the 49th minute with a left-footed strike from outside the box into the top corner. Paul Smyth levelled moments later (51.), and Tariq Lamptey's delivery following a corner set up Jimmy Dunne's decisive header (74.). The visitors carried the greater punch with 19 attempts and six on target, while Blackburn managed only two efforts on goal. The result lifts Queens Park Rangers from sixth to fourth and drops Blackburn from seventh to 10th, with Blackburn visiting Lincoln City next and Queens Park Rangers hosting Cardiff City.
Player of the Match: Jimmy Dunne anchored the back line with seven clearances and rose to head the winner after Lamptey's cross, sealing a hard-earned away win.
Stat of the Match: Rumarn Burrell produced six key passes, a creative spark that underpinned the equaliser and sustained Rangers' pressure.
Three Things We Learned: Blackburn had 54.7% possession yet registered only two shots on target, struggling to convert control into clear chances. Lamptey's half-time introduction added thrust, posting three key passes and three tackles in 45 minutes. Burrell's six key passes and seven touches in the box showed how his link play drove the visitors' attack.
