Kaspars Gorkss headed an 82nd-minute winner as QPR boosted their promotion prospects with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.
Both sides created a host of opportunities in an entertaining Coca-Cola Championship clash, which looked destined to finish level after Jermaine Johnson had cancelled out Jay Simpson's early opener.
But Gorkss ensured Rangers claimed a fourth away win in six matches when he met a corner from substitute Alejandro Faurlin with a firm near-post header.
Simpson opened the scoring in the 10th minute with a cool left-footed finish after he had been released by the impressive Adel Taarabt.
But Johnson pulled the Owls level within three minutes as he converted a teasing left-wing cross from Darren Potter.
Wednesday struck the woodwork on two occasions and the visitors were also denied by the post as chances came at either end, yet there were to be no further goals until Gorkss' late intervention.

come on you rs
Yes the Owls had no luck, but the lack of points at home is starting to worry me !
It could have been 3-2 either way this game, still think the side need to start keeping a clean sheet , and thats down to the team not just the back 5.
I like the way Laws and the Owls try to play good football, and attacking football.. I think with a little extra cash to pay wages, and maybe buy an odd player Laws could build a decent team.. We have spent very little the last 3-5 years buying nay players, and have a low wage bill for the Championship, and have sold our better players, or they have left for higher wages. we have to at least change this and keep our better and brighter players. This is down to the Board not laws.. If the side made a run at the play offs,the gate money would go up !
