Blackburn keep up unbeaten home record with QPR win

Blackburn Rovers maintained their 100% home Championship record with a 2-0 win against 10-player QPR at Ewood Park.

An uneventful game was turned on its head in first-half stoppage time when Jonathan Varane was sent off for a late challenge on Danny Batth to reduce the visitors to 10.

Rovers captain Lewis Travis and Batth scored for the home side in a dominant second-half performance after John Eustace introduced the impressive Todd Cantwell at half-time.

Paul Smyth had a goal back chalked off as Blackburn comfortably saw out the win.

The victory extends Blackburn’s their unbeaten start to the Championship season while QPR have won just once in the league this term.
