QPR manager Michael Beale reveals the tactical game plan that ensured victory over Bristol City

QPR manager Michael Beale has spoken of the game plan to engineer victory over Bristol City on Saturday that included deliberately allowing the Robins to play down their flanks.

The hosts were the better team in the opening 15 minutes and were denied the lead when Seny Dieng saved Zak Vyner's header from Kal Naismith's free-kick. Moments later, City were behind when Stefan Johansen fired in from close range after Dan Bentley tipped Chris Willock's strike onto the post.

Three minutes after that and Nigel Pearson's side had a mountain to climb. Tyler Roberts was left unmarked at the back post to fire in Kenneth Paal's cross after Mark Sykes was caught out with the overlap.
