Everton fans impressed by QPR star during Cup defeat

Everton were knocked out of the Carabao Cup𒅌 by Championship side QPR on Tuesday nꦺight – and Toffees fans were impressed by Ilias Chair.

The Tof⭕fees travelled south to take on Championship side QPR, who have made an excellent start to life in Engl🎀and’s second tier this season.

Mark Warburton’s men are exp𝐆ected to be in bottom half, but a blend 🦹of young talent mixed with experienced players is helping QPR go forward.

After eight matches, they sit in eig𒉰hth place and aꦺre likely to be right in the mix when it comes to a fight for the play-offs next term. Chair is crucial.

The 23-year-old Morocco international started the game in the 10 role and got an assist for the first of Charlie Austin’s brace. The game finished 2ꦉ🙈-2.

Indeed, Austin and QPR were 🌃pegged back twice having gone i💧n front – with Lucas Digne and Andros Townsend netting for the Merseyside outfit.

Eventually, the game went to penalties and QPR won – winning 8-7 during the spot-kicks. A brilliant game, with Chair shining more than most.
