QPR fires again as Stoke loses ground on Boro
Queens Park Rangers continued its ascent in the EFL Championship as it recorded a 1-0 win over high-flyer Stoke City at Loftus Road.
The Hoops, who cruised past Wrexham with a 3-1 victory last time out, broke the deadlock in the 75th minute when Harvey Vale curled in a lovely effort from just inside the box.
Stoke mounted a late siege on the hosts' goal, with Liam Morrison making a spectacular goal-saving clearance off the line, denying Aaron Cresswell.
A third straight league win moves QPR level on points with Birmingham City, which beat Swansea City, while second-placed Stoke was unable to close the gap on early leader Middlesbrough, which moved four points clear with a win over West Bromwich Albion yesterday.
