Two in a row for a Harry Redknapp's QPR

January acquisitions Andros Townsend and Jermaine Jenas both struck exquisite half-volleys as QPR's survival hopes received a boost with a 3-1 win against Sunderland.

There had been fears last weekend's 2-1 win at Southampton could prove to be a flash in the pan, especially when Steven Fletcher put Sunderland ahead after 20 minutes.

However, the hosts rallied and levelled the score on the half-hour mark through Loic Remy before Townsend and Jenas sealed the win in the second half.
