Birmingham City defeated Queens Park Rangers 3-0 at home, with Liam Millar scoring twice and Demarai Gray adding a third.
Birmingham City defeated promotion rivals Queens Park Rangers 3-0 at home to maintain their unbeaten record at St Andrew's. Liam Millar opened the scoring midway through the first half with a counter-attack, after Tomoki Iwata capitalised on a loose touch by QPR's Rayan Kolli in the centre circle. Millar doubled the advantage just after half-time before Demarai Gray sealed the victory with a stoppage-time goal.
The result came four days after Birmingham had beaten Preston 4-0, demonstrating manager Chris Davies' team as serious promotion contenders. QPR, widely fancied for promotion themselves, had a chance to take the lead early on when Boy Kemper's header from a long throw-in skimmed wide. Birmingham had a penalty appeal waved away when August Priske's shot struck the arm of QPR's Ronnie Edwards, but the referee declined to award it.
