No sooner had he scored than Idrissa Sylla was being helped off the pitch in the 2-1 win over Ipswich.

The QPR striker scored his second in as many games when Town defender Christophe Berra could only back-head James Perch’s throw and Sylla hit a venomous volley into the roof of the net.

His elation became despair after he fell heavily following a challenge in the Ipswich box and exited with suspected concussion.

However, Rs boss Ian Holloway was a relieved man at the end, and not just because of Rs second three points in three days.

He said: "He's got mild concussion but doesn’t need to go to hospital. He’s still got a big smile on his face.

"Idrissa took a hell of a whack and when he came around |I just said welcome to England.

"He was actually out cold, but he’s fine now and he’s smiling because he scored a goal.

"They were worried it was full out concussion, but I don’t think it is and I trust my doctor and my staff.

"He’s got a lip out here, but it is nice to see him smile as he’s a fantastic talent. He’s 22 years old so it is about bringing them on and polishing them up."

It bodes well the former Anderlecht forward might just make the FA Cup tie against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
