QPR 4-0 Leeds United highlights: Whites' automatic promotion bid derailed at Loftus Road as Leicester go up
and live on Freeview channel 276
Victory at Loftus Road will turn up the heat on promotion rivals Ipswich Town, who must wait until tomorrow to play Hull City and potentially reduce the arrears between themselves and current top two Leicester City and Leeds.
Lose or draw in West London and United will have left the door open for Kieran McKenna’s side to walk through and reclaim a spot in the automatic promotion places.

62' Chair cuts inside again, racing away from pink shirts and gets a shot away. Ball cannons off Ampadu's head and out for a corner.
Big chance
51' Gray picks up the loose ball after Ampadu tackles in the middle, plays wide to Byram and receives it back on a run into the box. Low cross for Rutter turned behind for a corner. Georginio then wide of the mark from 12 yards. Off balance and falling backwards but has to hit the target.
Show of support
47' Byram crosses, Georginio glances a header towards goal but it's wide. Away end responds vociferously.
HT: QPR 2-0 Leeds
Leeds lacking urgency, control, a focal point in attack and haven't carried the same threat we've seen all season. Home side dictating the game.
