Steve Cook’s Second Goal in Two Games Secures Victory for Queens Park Rangers
Queens Park Rangers continued their impressive Championship revival with a hard-fought victory over Swansea City, thanks to Steve Cook’s second-half goal. Cook’s close-range volley secured the win for Rangers, marking his second goal in as many games.
Despite Swansea’s dominance in the second half, with Matt Grimes hitting the bar and Aimar Govea coming close to an equalizer, it was Cook’s goal that proved to be the difference. Rangers had been the better side in the first half, with Ilias Chair seeing an effort cleared off the line.
