Queens Park Rangers secured a precious second win in succession after coming from behind to claim a 3-1 victory over Sunderland at Loftus Road.

Post-match reaction

Rangers boss Harry Redknapp was delighted with the win, and he hailed his team's performance - but he insists that they need to continue this run if they want to survive. "It was a good performance to come from 1-0 down," he told Sky Sports. "I felt we didn't deserve to be one down as we started well with a good tempo, we passed the ball well - better than I have seen us play since I came here, in an attacking sense. "It was a good team performance, but we have to do that week in, week out and we have to have a real run of results like that if we are to get out of this, we need 36 or 37 points and that six points in two games has made a real difference to us." Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill, meanwhile, recognised his side are in danger of being dragged into the relegation places ahead of games against Norwich City and Manchester United. He said: "It's a tough old set of fixtures for us between now and the end of the season. We need to get some points on the board. "The players in the dressing room are disappointed but we're looking to respond as we have done before. It's a big game next week."
