QPR complete late comeback against Preston Lucas Andersen scored a sensational 93rd-minute winner to seal a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory for Queen’s Park Rangers over Preston North End at Deepdale. Author - Lauren W Preston looked to have edged a tight encounter when centre-back Liam Lindsay nodded home on the stroke of half-time, but late goals from substitutes Michael Frey and Andersen ensured QPR returned to west London with all three points. The result lifts the R’s further clear of the relegation zone in the Championship table, pulling away from a Preston side who began the day just one point behind them in 16th. In a first half short on rhythm and interrupted by many fouls, it was Preston who made the breakthrough deep into added time.

Any hopes of a Rangers fightback were swiftly dashed when Million Manhoef added a third shortly after the restart. Yang Min-Hyeok did at least mark his first QPR goal with a well-taken effort late on, but it proved little more than a consolation on a frustrating day for Martí Cifuentes’ side.
