QPR vs Boro - Live match updates from Loftus Road (Teesside Live)

Live match updates as Middlesbrough take on Queens Park Rangers in the Championship at Loftus Road.

Ball into Dykes feet and Howson is spun far too easily as he goes the wrong way in an attempt to intercept. From the resulting corner, Steffen goes to punch but misjudges the flight and Dunne is waiting behind to head into an empty net. Under pressure, he tries dribbling back towards his own goal before being pushed off the ball and then conceding a free-kick in a dangerous position. Boro have a chance to break there. He keeps the ball in play before cutting in and teeing up Forss, but the striker's goalbound effort is blocked by Dunne. It's a great block as well. Akpom drops deep and receives it into feet before slipping the ball through to Crooks breaking into the right side of the box. Excellent run from Forss onto a ball down the channel. Jones again losing the ball in his own half. But lost momentum towards the end and then lost Lenihan to a red card. First defeat of the season and a very forgettable afternoon in the capital. His cross is met by the head of Akpom, but Dieng makes an excellent stop. As the last man, he had to go.

QPR v Middlesbrough player ratings (West London Sport)

QPR ground out a fine 3-2 victory over a much-fancied Middlesbrough side at Loftus Road to hand Mick Beale his first win as head coach.

His introduction was key to Rangers regaining a foothold in the game as he got himself into some great crossing positions and almost scored with a fine shot that just flew wide. Was excellent in the first half, with some tireless running and won many tackles to help put his side on the front foot as they stormed into a 3-0 lead. Stood tall under some intense pressure but was posed plenty of questions by the movement of the visiting forwards in the second half and given the slip by Marcus Forss for the second Boro goal. However, despite his lack of height the Dutchman made some fine defensive headers and showed his bravery by putting his head where it hurt to put through Macauley Bonne, who was then poleaxed by Darragh Lenihan late in the game. He then almost gifted Duncan Watmore a goal minutes later when he was caught dawdling on the edge of his own box but was bailed out by Rob Dickieโ€™s block. A composed figure as Boro laid siege to the Rangers goal in a 20-minute spell after half-time.

We know how good he is at this level and he brings the best out of others. "I don't think people realise the effort it took for Chris to get through 70 minutes. He's picked the ball up just inside our half, travelled 20 or 30 yards and put it in the top corner. We're all trying to do the best deals and get the right players. Middlesbrough's Chris Wilder: "We're all trying. By the 38th-minute mark it was 3-0.

Zack Steffen Mistake vs. QPR Is Tough To Watch (The18)

A horrendous Zack Steffen mistake vs. QPR in the EFL Championship on Saturday has USMNT fans questioning him as the starting goalkeeper.

Now, it would be harsh to sentence the American for failure after a mistake in his second game of the season. Steffenโ€™s loan spell to Middlesbrough was a smart move in hopes of getting in the best form possible before the start of the World Cup in November. As many of us know, Steffen is not necessarily a fan favorite in the U.S. and the reactions to his mistake sum up what they think about the former Manchester City backup and his role in the USMNT.
