A defensive blunder by Steve Cook handed Swansea an early advantage in their 2-1 win at Loftus Road. Cook, who was making his 100th and final appearance for QPR, inadvertently gifted the visitors a goal when he tripped teammate Rhys Norrington-Davies, allowing Ronald to score. Despite a spirited response from the hosts, Swansea doubled their lead with a contentious late penalty converted by Zan Vipotnik.
Norrington-Davies netted a late consolation for QPR, but it was too little, too late. The match marked the end of Cook's tenure with QPR, and he received a standing ovation from the crowd when he was substituted in the 60th minute.
Swansea's victory was marred by controversy, with their second goal coming from a penalty that appeared to be awarded outside the area. QPR manager Julien Stephan chose to focus on Cook's contributions to the team rather than the early mistake, praising his professionalism and wishing him well for the future.
Swansea boss Vitor Matos expressed his satisfaction with the win, noting that his team had tried to dominate the game with and without possession.
