West Ham boss identifies ‘key moment’ in win over QPR

By

Delighted West Ham boss Sam Allardyce felt Diafra Sakho’s second-half goal effectively ended any prospect of a QPR comeback in the derby at Upton Park.

Bottom-of-the-table Rangers were dealt an early blow when Nedum Onuoha scored an own goal after only five minutes.

Charlie Austin missed a good chance for the visitors before Sakho scored the Hammers’ second goal just before the hour mark.

And Allardyce said: “The second goal was a big moment. Even though we dominated the game there was a period where QPR were trying to get back into it and we then scored the second.

“At 2-0 up at that stage, I think in the end that killed QPR’s spirit. It was difficult for them.

“The lads stepped up and gave a very good performance and came out with a very good result.”
