Leeds United 2-0 QPR highlights: Jayden Bogle and Joel Piroe help Whites back to winning ways
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
United lost for the first time in nine matches on Wednesday night but a return to familiar territory at Elland Road is likely to yield a response from Farke’s side.
Leeds have been impressive at home this season, despite early season disappointments against Portsmouth, Burnley and Middlesbrough, latterly in the Carabao Cup.

Hide AdQPR arrive in West Yorkshire without several of their preferred starters and sit 23rd in the Championship table after 14 matches.
Cifuentes’ outfit beat Leeds comprehensively at Loftus Road just over six months ago as United’s automatic promotion bid ground to a halt. The last time these two met at Elland Road, Leeds were the victors by a 1-0 scoreline.
Leeds will be without left-back Junior Firpo, however, who serves the first game of a three-match suspension, brought about retrospectively for violent conduct during the defeat to Millwall on Wednesday night.

Leeds United vs Queens Park Rangers LIVE
73’ A more flowing move forward, ball slipped into the run of Gnonto and his shot is deflected wide for a corner.
The standout
70’ Nice from Bogle, again. He's been decent. Gets down the right, comes inside and almost tees up Solomon. Another pass just a touch short.
66’ CHANCE. Struijk and Meslier miscommunicate, defender hooks away a ball the keeper should have taken. QPR keep attacking, ball hooked back in and Sam Field puts it over the top on the turn. Good chance to level.
60’ Leeds counter with Gnonto down the middle, he plays Solomon in on the left and he can't seem to get to the ball in time before Nardi comes out to smother. Unsure if the pass was overhit or Solomon thought he had more time than he had. Keeper down getting treatment.
Training ground whispers
51 - Struijk has a long chat with Rothwell before a free-kick. Rothwell curls it to the back post but Struijk has gone far to early and flag goes up. He headed well over anyway.
Not quite
49’ Bogle's one-two with Gnonto and a burst of pace take him away so he can whip in a peach of a cross. No one there. Byram gets it far side and miscues his attempted cross/cut-back.
HT: Leeds United 1-0 Queens Park Rangers
United in front at the break and deservedly so. Hosts had the better of it, even seeing a Manor Solomon goal chalked off for offside.

Dictating things
45’ What a ball from Tanaka. What a ball. Spots Byram, shapes to cross and Byram makes the back post run, arrives, gets on it but can't get the header on target and it goes across the face of goal.
One added minute
Not going to count
40’ Solomon goal ruled out for offside. Aaronson with a peach of a ball to put Byram in on the left and he cut it back to Solomon who finished. Flag went up as soon as Byram got on it. Looked off to me.
Surrendering possession
31’ Solomon tries too much, loses the ball and he and Byram get beaten. Leeds initially force QPR back but they go again down the right and Byram is baited into another foul. Level with the six-yard box.
