“That is why i am frustrated”- QPR manager highlights where Leicester City punished his side in FA Cup thrashing that frustrated him
Leicester City avoided a potential FA Cup shock with a dominant 6-2 victory over Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team ended a six-match winless streak with a comprehensive win, highlighted by a stunning strike from Wout Faes. He was joined on the scoresheet by Stephy Mavididi, Facundo Buonanotte, Jamie Vardy, and two goals from James Justin.
Despite the win, Leicester faced some challenging moments. Harry Winks was at fault for QPR’s second goal, misplacing a pass that allowed the Championship side to score.
The victory was crucial for Leicester as they looked to regain confidence ahead of a crucial stretch of Premier League matches.
QPR manager reflects on missed chances against Leicester QPR entered the match in strong form, but the gap in quality between the Premier League and Championship was evident at the King Power Stadium.
Marti Cifuentes, who has been praised for his team’s recent improvement, acknowledged the challenge his side faced. He expressed frustration that they failed to capitalize on opportunities when they were still in the game.
Speaking to the club’s website, Cifuentes said, “Until they scored two quick goals, I thought we were playing really well and could challenge Leicester. That’s why I’m frustrated – individual mistakes hurt us. When you play against a Premier League team, you know they won’t give you another chance.”
Cifuentes questions Leicester penalty decision Leicester extended their lead early in the second half with Jamie Vardy’s penalty, marking his 38th birthday with a goal. The penalty was awarded after QPR right-back Harrison Ashby was deemed to have handled the ball in the box.
While the decision effectively ended any hope of a QPR comeback, Cifuentes disagreed with the call. “I haven’t seen the replays, but when a player goes to tackle, it’s impossible not to extend his arms,” he said. “That’s how it is.”
He added, “They scored the fourth, and then it was tough. Mentally, it’s difficult when you’re playing well and challenging, then suddenly you’re 4-2 or 5-2 down. But that’s the reality if you want to play at this level. If you give them a chance, they’ll take it.”
