Fans of QPR have been cooing over footage posted by the club on Twitter displaying Bright Osayi-Samuel’s trickery before firing home his goal in Saturday’s 4-2 victory over Stoke.
Osayi-Samuel has been in fine form for the R’s this season, scoring five goals and providing four assists in his 22 league starts for the club. His performance during QPR’s victory over Stoke particularly pleased fans, with the 22-year-old earning a WhoScored match rating of 7.28.
This was largely thanks to a brilliantly taken goal, in which Osayi-Samuel fakes a pass, sending his defender in completely the wrong direction, before firing home from a tight angle to give QPR a 3-2 lead.
The footage has delighted the QPR fans, with many taking to social media to show their admiration for Osayi-Samuel’s goal, as well as his impressive performances throughout the season.

What do we think?
Bright Osayi-Samuel and Eberechi Eze have been two of QPR’s best performers this season, with WhoScored average match ratings of 6.91 and 7.45 respectively.
If Mark Warburton can keep hold of both of them this summer, as well as making some improvements in defence (their 58 goals conceded ranks as joint second-worst in the Championship), then QPR will have two of the most exciting young talents in the league, with a much better chance of finishing higher than their current league position.
