Redknapp slams QPR defending for Burnley defeat

QPR boss Harry Redknapp slammed their defending for defeat at Burnley.

Scott Arfield and Danny Ings scored for the Clarets, either side of a Charlie Austin penalty, to leave QPR in the bottom three.

Redknapp said: " I thought we were right in the game and that Burnley had lost their way a bit and then we have given an horrendous goal away. It was a shocking second goal, we have to defend better in that situation and it cost us dearly.

"The conditions weren't easy but defenders have to defend. For the first goal we had three men around their guy - we're not talking about Lionel Messi are we - and he's gone past three of us far too easy.

"The second goal was poor defending too. The ball dropped between two of us [Richard Dunne and Steven Caulker] and you have got to clear the ball or get your body in the way, you've got to be stronger, you can't give goals away like that."
