Derby County secured a thrilling 3-2 win over Queens Park Rangers, coming from behind twice to stay in contention for a Sky Bet Championship play-off spot. Jaydon Banel scored the decisive goal in the 88th minute, his third in five games, after Derby had levelled the score twice. The win was a rare away triumph for Derby and keeps their play-off hopes alive, pending the outcome of other matches.
QPR, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive defeat and are now without a win in five games. The match saw a strong start from QPR, with Harvey Vale putting them ahead, but Oscar Fraulo equalized for Derby. Richard Kone then restored QPR's lead, only for Sondre Langas to level the score again for Derby.
Banel's late strike sealed the win for Derby, who took advantage of QPR being down to 10 men due to an injury to Rumarn Burrell. The outcome leaves Derby eighth in the table, still in with a chance of making the play-offs, while QPR's season continues to falter.
