QPR chief Fernandes hails 'fighting spirit' of Hill, labels Ramsey a 'pro'

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has praised Chris Ramsey's side in the wake of their 3-3 draw with Aston Villa.

Fernandes had to watch the match on his phone as he was not in England at the time and was delighted to see the R's fight for a point at Villa Park.

QPR had defeated West Bromwich Albion 4-1 at The Hawthorns on Saturday and backed that up with a fighting performance for the second time in four days in the West Midlands to keep their Premier League survival hopes alive.

In a series of Tweets, Fernandes pointed out veteran defender Clint Hill - who scored his first-ever top flight goal - and Ramsey for the job they did in the impressive performance.
