WATCH: Maloney punishes QPR with stunning free-kick

SHAUN MALONEY SCORED a glorious injury-time free-kick to earn third-bottom Wigan Athletic a 1-1 draw at second-bottom Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.

Loic Remy’s magnificent 85th-minute strike looked to have breathed new life into QPR’s bid to avoid the drop, only for Maloney to bend a free-kick into the top-right corner with practically the last kick off the game.

QPR, who had Bobby Zamora sent off in the first half, now lie seven points from safety with six games to play, while Wigan trail Sunderland on goal difference alone and have a game in hand.
