A memorable night for Steve Cook, who played his 100th and final game for QPR, turned sour when he inadvertently gifted Swansea an early goal in their 2-1 win. The veteran defender, set to leave the club at the end of the season, was honored with the captain's armband and a warm reception from the home crowd. However, his attempted clearance led to a mix-up with teammate Rhys Norrington-Davies, allowing Ronald to score his first goal since September. Despite a strong response from QPR, Swansea doubled their lead with a disputed late penalty converted by top scorer Zan Vipotnik.
Norrington-Davies scored a consolation goal in stoppage time, but it was too little, too late for the hosts. The win marked a fitting end to Cook's QPR career, with the defender receiving a standing ovation when he was substituted on the hour mark.
QPR manager Julien Stephan praised Cook's contributions to the club, both on and off the pitch, while Swansea's Vitor Matos expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, despite feeling that the penalty decision was incorrect.
