Just like in England’s painful World Cup exit, QPR were left wondering by a controversial penalty decision.
On the day Neil Critchley was confirmed as QPR’s new manager, Peter Bankes’s refusal to point to the spot when George Thomas was taken out by Burnley goalkeeper Arijanet Muric 20 seconds into the game was as confusing as the call which denied England captain Harry Kane a penalty in the first half against France.
To rub salt in QPR wounds, a free-kick that even captain Jack Cork seemed to suggest should not have been given led to Burnley’s opening goal from Johann Gudmundsson.
