Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 QPR

QPR's pots of money still can't buy an away goal but boss Paulo Sousa claims he's not worrying.

Rangers have not scored a goal on the road since September 17 and were denied by the heroics of Owls' keeper Lee Grant.

He pulled off a penalty save amidst a series of fine stops before Leon Clarke punished QPR for their profligacy with an undeserved winner.

It's now been well over 10 hours since QPR found the back of the net away from Loftus Road but Sousa said: "I'm not so worried because I believe my players can get the confidence to score.

"When you control the game and create chances I am happy. Now the next step is to show more aggression and score the goals."

And the biggest waster was on-loan Icelandic striker Heidar Helguson, who should have buried a giltedged chance as he couldn't sidefoot past Grant from six yards from Patrick Agyemang's pass.

Qpr were awarded a penalty when Frank Simek pushed Helguson.

But captain Martin Rowlands was thwarted by the in-form Grant, who dived the wrong way but somehow kept the ball out with a trailing leg.

The only goal came in the 75th minute when keeper Radek Cerny could only parry Marcus Tudgay's drive into the path of Clarke who buried the rebound.

Sheff Wed: Grant, Simek (Watson 38), Beevers, Wood, Spurr, Tudgay, McAllister, O'Connor, Esajas (Small 28), Jeffers (Slusarski 72), Clarke.

Qpr: Cerny, Ramage, Stewart, Gorkss, Delaney (Hall 88), Agyemang, Mahon (Di Carmine 79), Leigertwood, Rowlands, Ephraim (Cook 55), Helguson.
