Ebere Eze scored his second goal of the Championship season from a second-half free-kick

Queens Park Rangers came from behind to beat Wigan Athletic, who suffered a fifth straight defeat in all competitions.

Cedric Kipre was left unmarked from a second-minute corner to give the Latics an early lead, and the visitors could have doubled their advantage when Michael Jacobs hit the post from a narrow angle.

Rangers equalised three minutes into the second half after the away defence failed to deal with a low cross from Ryan Manning, and Nahki Wells was on hand to pounce.

Ebere Eze curled in a free-kick to put the R's ahead just after the hour mark and the forward then set up substitute Jordan Hugill to make it 3-1 and secure the points.

Wigan had gone three Championship games without a goal - a run stretching back to their 3-2 win over Cardiff City on the opening day - but Kipre ended their drought when Daniel Fox's corner from the right was flicked to the back post by Jacobs.

R's boss Mark Warburton had made six changes from the midweek defeat at home by Swansea City, but it was not until the second half that his side burst into life.

Wells netted his second goal since rejoining on loan from Burnley to level the game and, after Kipre was penalised for a high foot on the edge of the area, Eze sent a low free-kick around the wall and into the bottom right-hand corner to make it 2-1 to the hosts.

With nine minutes remaining the England Under-20 international played in Hugill down the left and the on-loan West Ham striker cut in and sent a right-footed effort past David Marshall, and there was still time for Marshall to deny R's a fourth goal after smothering the ball at the feet of Ilias Chair.

Rangers are 13th in the table having ended a three-match run without a win, while Wigan are in the bottom three and have now lost their past three away from home.

QPR manager Mark Warburton:

"We conceded a stupid soft goal less than two minutes in, so all your planning and all your work all week goes out the window.

"We had to respond, move the ball quicker and do everything we're good at. All credit to the players, they did that.

"The only frustration, and I say this with all respect to Wigan, was that we should have had three or four more."

Wigan Athletic manager Paul Cook:

"I'm always a manager who fully backs his players. But I'm at my wits' end with them at the moment. That's nowhere near where we want to be as a team and as a club.

"Supporters clapping you off at the end is what I pride myself on as a manager. They travelled 250 miles and aren't clapping us off after that, that's for sure.

"If results stay the same then someone else will be speaking to you. That's how football is. That's the nature of the game and how it is."
