Furlong helps Rangers pull off late victory

Queens Park Rangers go into tomorrow's home match with Coventry bursting with confidence after a thrilling 3-2 win over Leicester moved them into seventh place in the Championship.

Manager Ian Holloway could not hide his delight after Paul Furlong's last-minute header capped a thrilling fightback from QPR, who have now won four successive league matches.

Holloway said: "I don't think we deserved to be two down at half-time on the balance of play, but I felt we needed to get more bodies into the box and to be a bit more adventurous.

"I feel my team went about their business, showed fantastic spirit and I can't tell you how proud I am. To come back from two goals down against a quality team is probably one of the best feelings I have ever had."

David Connolly's needless sending off in the second half allowed QPR to begin their fightback. Leicester were in complete control thanks to goals from Jamie Scowcroft and Connolly.

But the striker's red card for two bookings gave Rangers - who had Dan Shittu making his first league start since January - the incentive and they deservedly drew level through three second-half headers.
