Fresh from his Republic of Ireland U21 exploits that included an assist for a 96-minute winner, Ryan Manning returned to QPR and shone as they drove four goals past Norwich in the Sky Bet Championship.

Manning has been in impressive form for Ian Holloway's side in recent weeks and the Galway man has landed several headed goals this season, the latest coming today with a driven effort across the keeper.
Deployed on the right of a five-man midfield, Manning's willingness to track back was obvious for the entirety of the game although he was extremely unlucky to concede an own goal when his diving tackle tipped the ball away from Alex Smithies.
It has not been a hugely successful season for QPR but Manning has turned it around this year forcing his way into the starting team and impressing. Still just 21, the attacking talent looks set to enjoy a successful and prolonged career in England.
