QPR fans have the last laugh at taunting Birmingham fans with dramatic late winner

QPR manager Julien Stephan to BBC Radio London:

“Fantastic game, a lot of emotion. I think the players deserve this win. And all the credit to them because they played so well today, with a lot of character and a lot of ambition.

“They pressed the opponent very well, which we know is important because if they have time to organise themselves they are a very good team. I think in the second half it was perfect.

“It was very difficult mentally to accept the fact that we concede the goal, but the reaction of the players is amazing. This a great win, I enjoyed their performance, and enjoyed a lot the atmosphere in the stadium. We play football to share this kind of emotion, it’s very important.

“I’m not sure it’s our best game this season, but it’s certainly the most emotional. And its more important to have some emotional games, because when you win it’s a fantastic feeling.”

Stephan, per Sky Sports:

“It was a lot of positive emotion just after a negative emotion.

“What a fantastic game we did, especially in the second half. I think it was a great game. Usually they are a team who shoots a lot and they shot three times, one on target.

“Then what character after a bad moment. All credit to the players. It was amazing. It’s probably why we do this job, to share that emotion.”

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies to BBC WM:

“We weren’t at our best today. We weren’t as fluent as we normally are with the ball, but again the problem is conceding the first goal, giving ourselves a big job to do.

“We did grow into the game. We got better and better and better, and eventually started to create chances really late on.

“They’re a very physical team, big strong players, and I don’t think we were strong enough across the pitch in a lot of duels, and that obviously cost us in terms of possession, and being second to the ball.

“The players are desperately disappointed because they thought they’d clawed themselves back into the game, and couldn’t get it over the line.”

Davies, per Sky Sports:

“Obviously it’s a very painful defeat, as painful as it gets really, to get a goal in the last few minutes and then concede in the last seconds.

“In terms of the game itself we were too slow in the first half. The problem in some ways was the first goal, not the last.

“We gave ourselves too much to do. There had not been a lot of football on show from either team and we needed to get to half-time 0-0 and build from there.

“I don’t think we got in their box often. But staying in the game was a good sign and then we think can we get a point, which we nearly did.

“Last-minute winners are the worst feeling in football and we have to take our medicine.”

“I was going to cross it first time” 😅

Twitter users gave their reaction while QPR fans have the last laugh at taunting Birmingham fans with a dramatic late winner…

@lewisacoleman: Clever finish and absolute limbs tbf

@SteveCo98401614: Almost a Zamora feel to it

@bjjudo: Beadle is terrible. Take nothing away from QPR. They shut us down all night. But James Beadle is way out of his depth in this league. Shocking performance from the blues tonight.

@QPR_Rojo: Best Limbs I’ve seen at Loftus Road by a mile

@jamezqpr1: 19 years old. His floor is the Premier League and honestly his ceiling is limitless – England cap at least #qpr

@TonyIncenzo: SAFE STANDING = LIMBS. The absolute LIMBS in our safe standing blocks last night when this goal went in was sensational. I would like to see railed seating/safe standing behind the goal at every Premier League and Championship stadium.

@WestHam_Central: That’s a dirty finish, fair play. QPR gonna be tough, they are on good form

@QPRTravels: THE FUCKING LIMBS. THE ROOF IS OFF

@Jacqwezfroud: Rewatching this back. The limbs on that. Phenomenal. What a feeling 👏

@SamBaldy_: I love this game. Kieran Morgan you are some bloke

@davidbakerdj: I’m sitting back home and there is no prospect of me going to bed until I take myself off a large cloud! Birmingham have a song when they scored they started to sing it but stopped at keep right on !!!! The only thing they’ll find end of the road is their coaches home. #qpr

@thatmarkperkins: One of the great nights down QPR. My mate Pete Morris and I screamed into each other faces for a minute then couldn’t speak.

@shauny_wheelz: Scenes down the loft 😍

@becki_curzon: Kieran Morgan you fucking beautiful bastard

@g97467221: Nothing better than seeing the whole team wheel away in celebration
