Queens Park Rangers (QPR) secured their first win of the season in the English Premier League on the 17th matchday. Under the management of Harry Redknapp, who took over from Mark Hughes, QPR emerged victorious against Fulham.
The Moroccan midfielder Adel Taarabt played a crucial role in QPR’s triumph by scoring twice. Taarabt found the net in the 51st and 67th minutes, contributing significantly to his team’s long-awaited victory. Despite Fulham managing to reduce the score with a goal from Mladen Petric in the 87th minute, QPR held on to secure the three points.
While QPR remains at the bottom of the standings, the win brought a sense of relief and optimism to the team. The mention of Cameroonian Stéphane Mbia being able to “sleep peacefully” suggests that there might have been a particular significance or pressure associated with the victory for him.
It will be interesting to see how QPR builds on this success in the remaining matches of the season and whether they can improve their position in the league table.
