    FT: QPR 0-1 Norwich

    That victory lifts Norwich up to 11th - two points from the play-offs and amazingly only four points off leaders Leeds.

    I know it's still early but only five points separate top and 14th in the Championship table.

    QPR stay 16th, four points above the drop-zone.

    We set out at the start of the week to get three wins and that's what we've done. The manager showed faith in me from last season and I just want to repay him for that.

    I put my chest out and it went in - it was a bit lucky but I'll take it. It's been easier to adapt to the league than I thought - I thought maybe I'd struggle a bit because of the physical side.

    That's it - Norwich have three successive Championship wins for the first time since February 2017 thanks to Teemu Pukki's goal.

    The Canaries had gone eight months without an away win but now have two in the space of a week.

    QPR's resurgence is halted and they can't have too many complaints about the result.

    Norwich counter at pace and have men over but Marco Stiepermann's pass goes between two team-mates.

    Daniel Farke has brought Tom Trybull on for Moritz Leitner to see out the closing stages.

    QPR 0-1 Norwich

    It's a pretty poor near-post corner from Luke Freeman but it causes a mini goalmouth scramble and Norwich have to hack clear.

    The Canaries are normally easy on the eye but they're having to scrap out this result now.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 87 mins

    QPR 0-1 Norwich

    Final throw of the dice for QPR - centre-back and captain Toni Leistner off for towering striker Matt Smith.

    QPR 0-1 Norwich

    QPR turning up the heat.

    Tomer Hemed holds up the ball on the edge of the box and plays it back to Eberechi Eze, who shoots narrowly wide from around 20 yards.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 80 mins

    QPR 0-1 Norwich

    Luke Freeman gets away from the Norwich midfield and smacks one with the laces of his boot from 25 yards to force a flying save from Tim Krul.

    It's the closest QPR have come to a goal.

    From the resulting corner Netherlands keeper Krul is fouled and has remained down injured.

  16. Hurst: We lacked qualitypublished at 19:07 BST 22 September 2018

    It was another frustrating afternoon for Paul Hurst's Ipswich, who are now the only side in the Championship without a win after failing to score past a Bolton side that were down to ten men for the majority of the game following Marc Wilson's sending off in the 34th minute.

    "It's a very quiet dressing room - understandably, to a degree," Hurst told BBC Radio Suffolk.

    "We felt we had a great opportunity going into the game anyway, and then, with ten men, we had a man advantage and we couldn't take or make use of that, and didn't force the keeper into action.

    "We got in some nice areas, but then had either the wrong decision or bad execution. The biggest word we've used, along with frustration, is quality, and we didn't have that quality today to create that one opportunity that I think we were looking for."

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 77 mins

    QPR 0-1 Norwich

    A double change for QPR with less than 15 minutes of normal time to go.

    Not too much of a response from QPR yet, but at the other end Jamal Lewis runs at Alex Baptiste and wins Norwich a corner.

    A lovely chested finish from Finland striker Teemu Pukki breaks the deadlock for Norwich.

    Marco Stiepermann's cross deflects into his path and it's a fifth goal in five games for club and country.

    In three of the previous four games, the goal Pukki scored gave his side a 1-0 win.
