Huddersfield boss hails side after win over QPR

Huddersfield boss David Wagner felt his team’s fitness levels were a major factor in their win against QPR.

Rangers were beaten 2-1 by the Championship leaders, who stood firm to secure a deserved victory after Idrissa Sylla pulled a goal back for the visitors.

“Everybody worked, we were always there for the second balls, and covered each other,” Wagner said.

“We were very hungry today and circumstances weren’t the easiest, because it was very hot today.

“We’ve shown again how fit we are and it was a very strong defensive performance.

“When they scored to make it 2-1 I had the feeling that they could only be dangerous with set pieces or long balls.”

The result left QPR 16th in the table after eight matches.
