QPR 1-3 Sheffield United: The visitors take a huge step towards Championship playoffs

Sheffield United came from behind to claim a comfortable 3-1 Championship victory at QPR that put them on the verge of sealing a play-off spot. Sheffield United's playoff hopes were boosted with a 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers Iliman Ndiaye levelled for Sheffield shortly after the break with a right-footed shot Former QPR defender Jack Robinson put United in front after 73 minutes and in stoppage time, Conor Hourihane scored straight after coming on as a substitute to record his first United goal. Charlie Austin headed home from Albert Adomah's cross to open the scoring Warburton's woes were summed up with the fact that Kieren Westwood - signed on a short-term deal because five other QPR goalkeepers are sidelined - missed the game with an injury of his own. With the Blades' play-off hopes on the line, and young Hoops keeper Murphy Mahoney making only his second senior appearance, United predictably peppered the hosts' six-yard box in the second half. Jack Robinson powered a header past Murphy Mahoney to put the visitors ahead The visitors' second goal was beautifully worked, with Oliver Norwood floating the ball towards the right of the penalty area, where Basham headed it across for Robinson to power a header past Mahoney.
