QPR boss Iain Dowie was full of praise for Aston Villa winger Ashley Young after last night's shock Carling Cup win.

"Ashley is one of the best wingers in the world," said Dowie.

"He's a top winger and he takes some playing that's for sure. But I picked up their team sheet and...they're a big side at the best of times but they brought in Zat Knight and put Marlon Harewood up front. We're a big side but they are the biggest side on the planet."
