Sheffield United maintained their slim hopes of snatching a play-off place with a 2-0 win at QPR.

First-half goals from Callum O'Hare and Tyrese Campbell secured the victory against injury-hit Rangers, who have lost three of their last four home matches and were second-best throughout.

The west London side, thrashed 5-0 at Southampton in midweek, were again punished for some woeful defending.

United were on top from the start and O'Hare opened the scoring after 13 minutes with his ninth goal of the season.

Tahith Chong exchanged passes with Sydie Peck, and the Curacao international's cross from the right deflected off sliding Rangers defender Jake Clarke-Salter towards the unchallenged O'Hare, who fired home at the far post.

Jonathan Varane went close to equalising when he fired over, but shortly afterwards he gave the ball away, resulting in the Blades doubling their lead in the 33rd minute.

Campbell took full advantage of Varane's error, thumping a superb long-range strike past goalkeeper Joe Walsh - the forward's first goal since November.
