Ipswich Town secured an impressive 4-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers in a Championship clash, with standout performances from George Hirst and Marcelino Nunez, who each netted twice. Hirst opened the scoring in the very first minute at Loftus Road, but QPR managed to equalize through Rumarne Burrell midway through the first half. Early in the second half, Nunez put Ipswich back in front with a free-kick, before Hirst and Nunez added two more goals to seal the win.

Despite the return of key players, including Ilias Chair, Queens Park Rangers struggled to counter the visitors' dominance. Chair, often a pivotal player for his team, set up the equalizer with a trademark strike from the left wing, which was parried by goalkeeper Christian Walton, allowing Burrell to capitalize on the rebound.

After the break, Ipswich maintained their aggressive play, with Nunez scoring again from a set-piece, and Hirst adding a third goal following a perfect cross from Darnell Furlong. This victory marks Ipswich's second consecutive win and provides a significant boost after their challenging start in the Championship, following relegation from the Premier League last season. Meanwhile, Queens Park Rangers continue to struggle with poor form, having lost three of their last four matches.

From an analyst's perspective, Ipswich Town is demonstrating the strength and potential needed to establish themselves in the Championship, while Queens Park Rangers must seriously reconsider their tactics to avoid further decline in the standings.
