Half-time: Sheffield Wednesday 1 QPR 0

Gary Hooper’s goal five minutes before half-time means QPR trail at the interval at Hillsborough.

David Jones’ scuffed shot ricocheted into the path of Hooper and the striker, played onside by Niko Hamalainen, slotted past Alex Smithies.

Sheffield Wednesday had gone close when Fernando Forestieri headed a 21st-minute corner towards Daniel Pudil, who volleyed against the bar from close range.

Tjaronn Chery had a couple of early efforts for Rangers, both of which were saved by stand-in keeper Cameron Dawson, who was given his full debut for the Owls after Kieran Westwood was ruled out with a back injury.

Conor Washington did find the net after being found by Ben Gladwin’s cross but the goal was rightly disallowed for a clear foul on Jack Hunt.

Hamalainen and the fit-again Gladwin started in place of the injured Joel Lynch and Jordan Cousins respectively.

Gladwin has been booked, as has fellow R’s midfielder Ariel Borysiuk.

QPR: Smithies, Perch, Onuoha, Caulker, Hamalainen, Borysiuk, Luongo, Gladwin, Chery, Washington, Sylla.
Subs: Ingram, Wszolek, Polter, El Khayati, Shodipo, Henry, Kakay.
