Tale of two Richards: Ireland veteran Dunne inspires QPR win while Keogh mistake costs Rams

Bobby Zamora punished a late mistake from the Derby skipper at Wembley.

TEN-MAN QPR clinched promotion to the Premier League in dramatic fashion as Bobby Zamoraโ€™s stoppage-time strike secured a 1-0 win over Derby in the Championship play-off final at Wembley today.

Harry Redknappโ€™s side were reduced to 10 men for the final 30 minutes after Gary Oโ€™Neilโ€™s red card, but Zamora punished a mistake by Irelandโ€™s Richard Keogh to steal victory against the run of play and ensure the west Londoners will make a quick and lucrative return to the English top-flight after last seasonโ€™s relegation.

Hereโ€™s the goal:

    Itโ€™s shame Richard Dunne has being injured so much letโ€™s hope he stays fit over the 2 years as he is still by miles the best defender we have. A beast of a man and Irish an legend

    There was a young man named Zamora, who fancied him as a scorer
    When Keogh fell asleep, he silenced the sheep, and buried it in the top corner

    Well taken goal.

    Sadly for Derby, it took three terrible mistakes in a row from their defenders to present it to Zamora
