    Last minute El Khayati brilliance condemns Charlton – report

    Sunday, 10th Apr 2016 19:56 by Clive Whittingham

    QPR snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against relegation-haunted Charlton Athletic at Loftus Road on Saturday.


    Clubs in Charlton Athletic’s position often lose games like this, like this.

    Desperate for a win, enjoying the bulk of the possession, creating the better chances and yet beaten by a goal completely out of the blue from a side with nothing to play for with virtually the last kick of the game just seconds after they’d been clean through on the goal at the other end.


    It was Igor Vetekele, one of several unheralded and not particularly good footballers with Belgian connections foisted on the South London club by its disgracefully inept owners, who streaked clear in stoppage time to apparently win the visitors the match. He allegedly cost them £2.4m but there wasn’t much evidence of that quality in his finish, even allowing for the latest world class save from QPR’s in-form goalkeeper Alex Smithies.

    Seconds later, QPR substitute Nasser El Khayati brought the ball into the penalty area down the Charlton right, widened the angle expertly and then finished with style and panache into the far top corner to win the game for his new club. This was the former Burton Albion man’s first in Rangers colours, and was worthy of winning a far better game than this one.

    Did Clive leave before the end...the report just sort of run out of steam before he got to ElK's goal.

    Pretty much agree with all of that report, even the player ratings, which makes a change.
