QPR secured a 2-1 comeback victory at Blackburn Rovers in the Sky Bet Championship, moving fourth with seven points from nine. After an even first half, Ryoya Morishita gave Blackburn a 49th-minute lead with a spectacular 20-yard volley. QPR responded swiftly, equalizing within two minutes through Paul Smyth's composed finish after Rumarn Burrell's low cross.

The visitors dominated thereafter, with Burrell and Ronnie Edwards creating chances before Jimmy Dunne powered home a 74th-minute header from Tariq Lamptey's cross to complete the turnaround. Blackburn's unbeaten run ended as Tony Mowbray's side lacked bench depth compared to Julien Stephan's QPR. Todd Cantwell missed two good chances for Rovers early on, while Balazs Toth made fine saves to deny Ilias Chair and Edwards.

Charles produced a crucial reflex stop to deny Ryan Alebiosu after the equalizer. Substitute Kwame Poku also went close for QPR. Alfie Lloyd saw a late effort blocked as QPR earned a second consecutive win at Ewood Park.
