It was a tale of two halves for QPR in the FA Cup third-round as the Championship side threw away a 2-0 lead against Premier League opposition Bournemouth at Loftus Road.
Marti Cifuentes' side looked far from their second division struggles as they dominated in the first half, scoring two goals in two minutes through Sinclair Armstrong and Lyndon Dykes. However, whatever Andoni Iraola said to his Cherries men at halftime sent a rocket up the team who rallied after half-time and blew away QPR with the score reversed to 3-2 by the 69th minute.
Here's how the players rated as Bournemouth find themselves in the fourth-round hat and QPR return to focus on Championship survival.
