Chair has scored six goals this season, including his strike in this game, to put him level with Dykes as the two QPR players with the most Championship goals this season. The Morocco international has also assisted eight goals this season, also leading the way among QPR players.

Despite losing this match heavily, Leeds had more shots than QPR (15-11) and both teams ended up with five attempts on target. They will try to bounce back at home to Southampton next week.
