Watford 1-2 QPR: Albert Adomah ends his comeback with the late winner as Hornets lose points at home in the promotion chase
- Troy Deeney gave Watford the lead after Ismaila Sarr was fouled
- Charlie Austin leveled for QPR with a header from Chris Willock’s cross
- Albert Adomah’s injury-time winner sent the Rangers to 17th place in the championship
- The Hornets are fifth, three points behind second-placed Swansea City
Albert Adomah certainly picked the moment to open his account in the Queens Park Rangers colors.
Barely a minute remained on the clock as Adomah, who signed after leaving Nottingham Forest in October, took control of Todd Kane’s right flank, spun in the box and finished with aplomb.
It earned a pivotal victory in QPR’s efforts not to get dragged into relegation scrap. That unexpected win against Watford, who was chasing promotion, put them seven points above the relegation zone.
QPR players celebrate after Albert Adomah’s winner, who put them in 17th place in the table
Watford were well on their way to claim a fourth straight home win under Xisco Munoz when Troy Deeney thundered home one of the penalties that had become his trademark early on in the second half.
But Charlie Austin, who has given momentum since moving from West Bromwich Albion to QPR’s under-attack attack, headed an equalizer out of nowhere for his 50th goal for the club.
And Mark Warburton’s side scored a decisive victory thanks to Adomah’s beautiful late goal and turned the tables after Watford rested on their laurels after Deeney’s goal.
The game was full of flaws and no quality, and QPR did its best to pin Watford back down when they insisted on handing it out from behind.
