Plenty of QPR fans have sung the praises of midfielder Ilias Chair after he was able to score the winner against Derby County last night.
Rangers managed to grab an important three points to thrust themselves further away from the relegation zone, by beating Phillip Cocu’s side 2-1 at Loftus Road.
Mark Warburton’s side got off to a good start after Grant Hall thumped the ball home following a free-kick with a fantastic shot in the 34th minute.
Martyn Waghorn managed to level the scores just before the break, leaving the game finely in the balance going into the second half.
Is Chair the new Taarabt?
Yes, he has all the same qualities
No, there is only one Taarabt
The game remained tied as Ilias Chair was brought on in the 73rd minute, and he had the decisive say in the match after his drilled shot managed to get past Ben Hamer in the Derby net.
After the match, the goalscorer was seen sending a video to the QPR fans via their Twitter account, to which many delighted fans responded.

A cool finish, but damn! That coat! Retro sheepskin! Homage to Motson, Allison and Venables – who would have all loved that goal…
Becoming a proper W London geezer. #QPR

The R’s have now jumped to 12th in the Championship with 11 games to go, and are now closer to the play-off zone then they are to the relegation zone, which will be hugely encouraging for Mark Warburton.
They are 10 points behind Preston and host Birmingham City on the weekend.
