Jones pinches points for Rangers

Teenager Ray Jones struck in the 88th minute to pilfer the points for QPR and leave Coca-Cola Championship leaders Cardiff stunned after a 1-0 defeat.

The 18-year-old slid in at the far post to convert a teasing low cross from fellow substitute Nick Ward and condemn the Bluebirds to their first home defeat of the season.

Rangers' gameplan worked to perfection as they reduced Cardiff to a night of frustration before hitting them with the late sucker-punch.

A much-improved second-half saw Cardiff hit the bar, have a goal disallowed and also see a seemingly legitimate penalty appeal turned down.

However, Rangers will feel they deserved their victory as Cardiff's promotion hopes were dealt a significant blow.
