Comments:

League position: 20th This was only Queens Park Rangers' second win in their last 13 meetings with Newcastle United. The previous success came on 4 February 1995 by a 3-0 margin. This was the relegated Hoops' first win at home in 2015 but they had now gained more Premier League points this year (12) than Newcastle United (ten).

Comments:

League position: 17th Newcastle United had won their previous four games against Queens Park Rangers, all by a single goal margin. The Magpies had now gone ten Premier League games without a win (nine defeats). It equalled their worst run since a similar streak between February and May 2009. They were relegated that season and were still under the threat of relegation in this season with one game to play. This was their first goal scored in their last six away matches, conceding 16 in those matches. Emmanuel Riviere had scored his first Premier League goal after 1084 minutes, more than 18 hours, after arriving in the summer. There had now been 101 goals in Premier League matches involving Newcastle United in this season (38 for and 63 against).
