"Southampton held on to earn a 2-1 win over QPR in their first match since Will Still's sacking on Sunday. Led by interim boss Tonda Eckert, the Saints had to hold on to clinch all three points, claiming their first win since September. QPR failed to take their chances in the first half and were punished for that by Jay Robinson in the 55th minute as he brilliantly finished off a swift counter-attack against the run of play."
"Leo Scienza got their second 14 minutes later; his driving run from the halfway line went unchallenged, and he bent a stunning strike past Paul Nardi. Rumarn Burrell snatched a goal back in the 73rd minute, taking advantage when Gavin Bazunu wandered off his line to head in at the near post, but QPR could not find a late second."
