Ramsey disappointed as free-kick denies QPR maximum points at Aston Villa

QPR boss Chris Ramsay has expressed his disappointment after his club only managed to earn a point from their away game at Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Villa's hat-trick hero Christian Benteke equalized for the home team in the 83rd minute with a delightful free-kick which ultimately cost the R's maximum points at Villa Park.

Ramsay said on Sky Sports: "It's a long time, it's heart attack time for managers that. You can see you're going to win but you know there's a chance anything can happen, a free-kick, a corner or a bit of magic.

"I thought we could (hang on) but a free-kick is a free-kick, at that stage most of their attacking options had been exhausted.

"I'm disappointed if I'm being honest. But before the game if someone said we'd get four points from the last two games we probably would have taken that."

QPR are still two points away from safety ahead of the clash with league leaders Chelsea at Loftus Road on Sunday.
