QPR claimed a deserved 3-0 victory over a poor Leeds side as they opened their Championship campaign in the best possible fashion.

Rangers opened the scoring after a goalmouth scramble in the fourth minute with Nedum Onuoha credited with the goal.

Tjaronn Chery and Sebastian Polter both struck the post in the first half as the home side should have been out of sight by half-time.

They did get the crucial second goal when Ronaldo Viera brought down Jordan Cousins in the penalty area. Chery stepped up and dispatched the spot kick.

Sebastian Polter wrapped up the three points with the third goal in the final seconds of the contest.

Below are five talking points from the contest that Rangers fans will be taking away from the season opener.

Who Scored?

The dubious goals panel will be getting an early run out this season after QPR's opener and whether it was Nedum Onuoha's or a Sol Bamba own goal.

An almighty goalmouth scramble on four minutes led to the opening goal but it is not clear from watching slow-motion replays whether Onuoha got a touch after Bamba's deflection looped the ball over Rob Green.

The QPR skipper would, obviously, like to claim it as his but there is certainly a debate as to who the goal is credited to.

Luscious Luongo

Massimo Luongo

Massimo Luongo had a chance to shine after Ariel Borysiuk's injury and he made the most of his opportunity.

Much of the good play from Rangers went through the Australian who linked up well with Karl Henry and stymied the Leeds play.

When he needed to get down and dirty, Luongo was happy to stick the boot in and make a few crunching, but fair, challenges.

Powerful Polter

QPR are perfectly set up for Sebastian Polter. They are happy to play the balls over the top and Polter gave the Leeds defenders a nightmare.

He produced a wonderful bit of skill to open up the chance for a shot but was unfortunate to see the ball hit the post.

After a slow start at Loftus Road last season, not helped by the presence of Charlie Austin in the squad at the time, you get the sense that Polter will be a key man for Rangers this season. His goal was fully deserved as QPR wrapped things up.

Lacklustre Leeds

Leeds manager Garry Monk

You can only beat what is in front of you and QPR did exactly that. The Yorkshire side failed to test Alex Smithies in the first half.

Garry Monk admitted he got his team-selection wrong when he withdrew Gaetano Berardi after 22 minutes, without a hint of an injury.

Rob Green struggled at dealing with QPR's balls into the box and should have done better for their fourth minute opener.

Kyle Bartley was particularly poor in central defence and couldn't deal with Sebastian Polter and nearly caused QPR's second when he cleared the ball into Tjaronn Chery.

When they did get forward, they were wasteful, notably when Stuart Dallas' free kick ballooned high and wide.

Dependable Bidwell

Dependable: Jake Bidwell

Jake Bidwell produced a standard performance for Jake Bidwell. The left back is unlikely to wow supporters with skill and flair as that is not the sort of player he is.

But, what he does and does so well, is do his job as a defender. The former Everton trainee has a knack of being in the right place at the right time.

Bidwell is the equivalent of a Honda Civic, not flashy like an Alfa Romeo but unlikely to break down and let you down.
