Warburton ends QPR reign with win at Swans

Andre Gray came off the bench to score his 10th goal of the season to provide Mark Warburton with a winning end to his three-year reign at QPR as the visitors won 1-0 at the Swansea.com Stadium.

QPR went into game having won only one of their last nine, with the home side suffering a 5-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest after a nine-match unbeaten run.

Swansea's unchanged side were the better of the two early in the first half, playing out from the back and building their way up the pitch but unable to get into the final third.

QPR began to pressure Andy Fisher as the half progressed, restricting Swansea's passing play with the home goalkeeper having to resort to long balls which were welcomed by the R's defence.

Swansea had 63 per cent of possession in the first half and threatened on a few occasions.

Hannes Wolf managed to put the ball past Seny Dieng after some great play saw Cyrus Christie's shot parried to the Austrian's feet.

Wolf slotted home but the linesman's flag was raised much to the relief of the QPR defence.

QPR did create a chance of their own when Ilias Chair came close when his shot was deflected just wide off the thigh of Joel Latibeaudiere but that was as exciting as it got for Warburton's side in the first half.

After returning from a two-month thigh injury, Dieng was called into action again 10 minutes before half-time after Cameron Congreve turned the QPR defence but the keeper did well to parry his shot out of danger.

Warburton opted to change things at the break with the introduction of Osman Kakay for Dion Sanderson but Swansea began the second half like they ended the first as Joel Piroe dribbled his way past Yoann Barbet, only for his shot to be blocked.

Swansea still struggled to trouble Dieng in
