But Kakay calmly slotted the ball past Adam Davies from a narrow-angle with 20 minutes to go to wrap up the points.

Sierra Leone right-back scored his first QPR goal in a 3-2 defeat to Plymouth Argyle in their EFL Cup first-round knockout tie back in September 2020.

Saturday’s goal was in second for the club in all competition.
