in hand, and behind Leicester by four points.
Leicester promoted back to Premier League as Leeds humbled at QPR
QPR had an incredible first half, scoring two goals without receiving an answer.
Ilias Chair opened the score with a deflected shot from outside the area, and Lucas Andersen
doubled the lead halfway through the first half with a curling finish.
Georginio Rutter, a French forward, missed a chance to put Leeds ahead in the second half
despite their best efforts to exert more pressure.
The Scottish forwards Lyndon Dykes and Sam Field completed the 4-0 victory in the second
half with headers from set pieces.
In an attempt to affect the outcome of the match, Leeds manager Daniel Farke went to his bench,

turn his close-range attempt wide.
