Despite the absence of top-scorer Charlie Austin with a bruised foot, a
fine first-half performance sent QPR well on their way to victory as their
dismal run finally came to end in their first away match since Harry
Redknapp's resignation.
Chris Ramsey and Kevin Bond continued their spell in temporary charge
of Rangers and the away side started well, taking the lead through
Leroy Fer after 17 minutes.
Sunderland almost equalised eight minutes before the break when
Connor Wickham saw his header knocked onto the crossbar, but they
were made to pay for that miss on the stroke of half-time when Bobby
Zamora – Austin's deputy – netted in spectacular fashion following
effective wing play by the impressive Matt Phillips.
Sunderland produced some improvement in the second half, but they
failed to find a way past the excellent Robert Green.
