EPL: QPR edge past Leicester 3-2 in relegation battle

London: Charlie Austin scored the winning goal in the 73rd minute as Queens Park Rangers came from a goal behind to earn a 3-2 victory over Leicester on Saturday and push the visitors into last place in the Premier League.

In an entertaining back-and-forth game, Esteban Cambiasso put Leicester ahead in just the fourth minute. But Wes Morgan turned a cross into his own goal in the 38th and Leroy Fer put the hosts ahead when he hammered in a rebound on the stroke of halftime for his first goal for QPR.

Cambiasso helped set up the equalizer when he fed Marc Albrighton, whose shot was blocked but fell to Jeffrey Schlupp, who fired in a shot from 25 yards in the 68th.

Austin then headed in the winner from a rebound after a corner.
