Redknapp relief as Austin powers R’s to victory

Charlie Austin ensured that for the first time in a week, the focus at Queens Park Rangers switched away from the weight of Adel Taarabt and the management style of Harry Redknapp and was instead focused firmly on the club’s prospects of survival.

The Rangers striker struck twice, once in each half, to secure only a second league win of the season and move the club off the foot of the Premier League.
