Swansea and QPR drew 1-1, with Jay Fulton's late equalizer earning Swansea a point. In his complete debut against his old team, Jamal Lowe gave Rangers the lead after 27 minutes.
The ball fell to Lowe, who scored after Swansea failed to stop Tyler Roberts' cross. With nine minutes left, though, the Welsh team scored with their first attempt on goal, scoring a well-executed goal.
Ryan Manning, a former member of QPR, made a superb reverse ball to Luke Cundle, who instead of going for the goal himself set up Fulton for an easy finish. It was a major setback for Rangers, who have now won only one of their previous 13 games, including seven losses.
They plummeted to 13th in the Sky Bet Championship standings and have only won one of their seven games played under Neil Critchley, who took over for Michael Beale as QPR's manager and was handed an underperforming club.
After taking the lead, QPR continued to advance after the break and, in somewhat peculiar circumstances early in the second half, had an opportunity to double their advantage.
Goalkeeper Steven Benda handled Harry Darling's backpass under pressure from Ilias Chair, giving the home team a free kick at the edge of the six-yard box, but Chair's shot was stopped.
Additionally, Lowe came very close to adding a second goal after being assisted by Roberts. The forward's volley hit the crossbar after rebounding off the ground. Swansea, who are currently ranked 11th in the standings, had a ton of possession, particularly in the second half, but they had trouble producing clear-cut chances.
They were also dealt a blow shortly after the hour mark when Benda was forced to leave the game due to an injury and was replaced by Andy Fisher. Fisher had to make a save with his legs to stop Lowe after the visitors were caught in possession while attempting to play out from the back on numerous occasions.
But the Swans' perseverance paid off when they finally created an opening, which Fulton calmly seized. Following his substitution, Swansea's Olivier Ntcham had a significant effect and may have given them the lead had it not been for a crucial late stop by QPR goalkeeper Seny Dieng.
