Crawley Town 3-3 QPR RECAP: Reds come from three goals down in dramatic pre-season friendly after club announce latest signing from Tottenham

(53) One of Crawley’s unnanmed trialist, who is playing on the left wing in the second half, has just had Crawley’s best effort of the game.

He drove into the area at speed and shot into the side netting. Better from Crawley and Betsy will be looking for more of the same.

GOAL! Crawley 0-2 QPR (51) - Macauley Bonne

Corey Addai, who replaced Glenn Morris in goal at half-time, is caught with the ball at his feet and QPR substitute Macauley Bonne finishes well from distance,

Long way back for Crawley now.

(46) We’re back underway for the second-half.

Corey Addai, Harry Ransom and two trialists have come on for Glenn Morris, Dion Conroy, James Balagizi and a trialist.

The refreee blows the half-time whistle.

Crawley are slowly growing into this game and chances will surely come in the second half.

Expect to see a few changes.

(36) Crawley are growing into the game now and winning more midfield battles.

Tom Nichols wants a free kick after he falls to the ground in a heap but the referee waves play on.

(32) A brillaint bit of skill by Nichols starts a rare attack from Crawley down the left hand side but QPR defend it well and the ball ends up back at Morris, after a dodgy backpass which initially wrong-footed the keeper.

(28) The action is back underway and Glenn Morris is staright away forced into a save. It was a powerful strike from Kenneth Paal and the keeper did well.

(24) The action has paused briefly for a drinks break (it is very hot)

(20) QPR want a penalty as Leeds United loannee Tyler Roberts goes down under a challenge in the box.

The referee waves away the appeals.

(14) Nearly quarter of an hour gone and it’s still QPR doing most of the attacking, looking for that second goal.

Kevin Betsy is on the edge of his technical area, shouting out orders to his players. He wouldn’t have been pleased with the manner of the goal and will be hoping the defence tighten up during set pieces.
