QPR boss Warnock all smiles as Fernandes era kicks off with victory

QPR boss Neil Warnock was delighted with victory at Everton.

Warnock was pleased to get their first points on the board after last weekend's 4-0 home defeat to Bolton, especially after a virus within the squad had restricted his options.

"In a way the attitude we came up with epitomised the whole result," he said.

"I said to them 'Give me everything' and they fought for each other.

"I said 'Let's go and enjoy it' because I'd rather be pulling up at Goodison Park than some of the Championship clubs we were last year.

"It was a well-worked move for the goal and they showed we can compete in the Premier League.

"In the circumstances we've had in the last 24 hours to do what they did was quite amazing and I couldn't be prouder.

"People like Patrick Agyemang (who started up front) were not in my thoughts for the last six weeks and at one o'clock I had to tell him he was playing - it is like something out of a comic book."
