Play-off finals from Sky Sports Vault: QPR 1-0 Derby, 2014

QPR beat Derby in the Championship play-off final in 2014

Ahead of play-off final weekend, we dig into the Sky Sports Vault to look back at a classic from 2014, when QPR beat Derby.

QPR clinched promotion to the Premier League in the most dramatic style as they beat Derby 1-0 in the Championship play-off final thanks to Bobby Zamora's 90th-minute winner, despite being reduced to 10 men after an hour.

On a tense afternoon at Wembley, QPR had to withstand a Derby onslaught in the second half after Gary O'Neil's straight red card for a foul on Johnny Russell.

But Zamora, who hit a play-off winner for West Ham in 2005, pounced in the final minute to dash Derby's dreams and secure a return to the top flight for QPR just a year after being relegated.

It meant a sad return to Wembley for Rams boss Steve McClaren, back at the scene of his lowest moment in football when he sheltered under an umbrella as his England side crumbled against Croatia in 2007 to miss out on qualification for the following year's European Championship.
