Hammers misfit makes his point again

|

West Ham misfit Jordan Hugill scored his seventh goal in 13 appearances as Queens Park Rangers kept up the pace at the top of the Championship last night.

The 27 year old struck on the 58th minute as the Londoners grabbed a 2-2 draw against Reading after being left on the bench in the 3-2 away win over Hull at the weekend.

His deflected half volley had give Rangers a 2-1 lead but they were dragged back via a 74th minute strike from the visitors.

However, it ensured that Rangers finished the night in fourth place, three points behind Slaven Bilic’s West Brom at the top.

Albion dragged themselves from a certain looking defeat against bottom of the table Barnsley with goals in the 68th and 81st minutes.

However, it wasn’t Grady Diangana’s best night with the Hammers loanee being substituted in the 67th minute after failing to make much impact on the topsy turvey game.
