Livermore's late strike boosts West Brom's promotion bid
West Brom moved to within a point of the Championship promotion places with 3-2 win over QPR.
LONDON (AFP) - Jake Livermore boosted West Bromwich Albion s bid for promotion to the Premier League as his late goal sealed a 3-2 victory at QPR on Tuesday.
Jefferson Montero s first goal for Albion since arriving on loan from Swansea opened the scoring in the fifth minute.
Luke Freeman s strike drew the hosts level at Loftus Road 10 minutes before half-time when he converted a Nahki Wells pass.
Jacob Murphy restored Albion s lead just after the hour mark when he capitalised on a terrible mistake by Joel Lynch.
Darren Moore s side were pegged back again by back Tomer Hemed s 75th-minute penalty after Craig Dawson was adjudged to have fouled the on-loan Brighton striker.
But, with just seconds remaining, former Tottenham midfielder Livermore nudged home Mason Holgate s low cross.
West Brom move within one point of second-placed Sheffield United and three of Championship leaders Norwich.
QPR have lost six consecutive league games as they slip dangerously close to the relegation battle.
