The eyes of the Rangers are upon 'em

After a tight and scrappy first hour at Loftus Road this morning, Manchester United turned up the heat and the attacking intent in the second half to secure a 2-0 win over Queens Park Rangers, thanks to substitutes Marouane Fellaini and James Wilson. On a testing surface against committed opposition and five yellow cards, the game had lacked finesse and clinical finishing – on another day Radamel Falcao could have had a hat-trick at least – but, on the back of defeat to Southampton and three league matches without a victory for the Reds, Louis van Gaal will be happy to be back to winning ways. But it is going to take more than just one win to reach the top, as the Reds are still 12 points behind Chelsea and therefore have a bit of catching up to do.
