QPR Begin With Comeback Victory

[Folami David]

QPR scored twice in three first-half minutes as they came from behind to beat Sheffield Wednesday. Atdhe Nuhiu netted a low shot to put the visitors ahead on his debut.
.
But Nedum Onuoha scored his first goal for the London club when he turned the ball home from inside the area, and Andrew Johnson volleyed in soon after.
.
Wednesday's Jacques Maghoma had a penalty claim turned down after the break when Joey Barton appeared to trip him and later hit the post with a shot.
.
After relegation from the Premier League last season, QPR were given a reminder of just how frantic England's second tier can be in an exciting affair.
.
Harry Redknapp's side started the game brightly and their incisive play was finding gaps in Sheffield Wednesday's defence with Johnson firing a deflected effort just wide before Owls goalkeeper Chris Kirkland saved from the ex-Fulham striker.
.
But just when it looked like QPR would find a breakthrough, they were caught out at the other end as former Austria Under-21 frontman Nuhiu bustled clear before hitting a low effort past Rob Green in the home goal.
.
Kirkland could do nothing to stop Onuoha getting his first goal for Rangers as the former Manchester City defender turned home Junior Hoilett's shot to level the game in 40th minute.
.
Dave Jones's Owls were caught out again three minutes later as Kirkland saved from Barton at the back post, but the ball broke to Johnson and he volleyed home.
.
Kirkland was busy again after the break as he denied Hoilett once more before Michail Antonio should have scored when Wednesday broke away on the counter- attack, but the midfielder scuffed his effort over the bar.
.
Barton was then booked by referee Scott Mathieson for a late challenge on Jeremy Helan before he escaped a second and a red card moments later.
.
Mathieson adjudged Maghoma to have dived in the area despite replays showing contact from Barton, who spent last season on loan at Marseille and tweeted earlier this summer that "I will not be playing in the Championship next season".
.
Maghoma's misery was added to when he hit the post with a low strike before Charlie Austin made his debut for the hosts following his move from Burnley on Thursday, but the closest he came to opening his account was a header that flew over.
