Match StoryFull breakdown

QPR 2–2 Preston

QPR dominated every statistic but could not hold on, as Preston's Johnny Kenny scored twice in the first half to leave Rangers with a point they will feel is two dropped. Paul Smyth's 90th-minute equaliser rescued QPR from defeat, but the story of this match is one of wasted chances and defensive lapses.
