EBERE Eze believes Saturday’s opening day success at Stoke City shows QPR ‘shouldn’t fear anybody’ in the Championship this season.

Goals from debutant Jordan Hugill and Eze were enough for Mark Warburton’s new-look R’s, who held on for victory despite Sam Clucas’ late reply.

It was Eze who stole the show at the bet365 Stadium, with his sumptuous second-half strike providing the perfect finish to a beautifully orchestrated move from back to front.

Reliving the goal and the subsequent celebrations in front of the 1,439 jubilant travelling R’s, he told www.qpr.co.uk: “It was a crazy feeling!

“I saw that nobody was really coming to close me down. I managed to dummy the defender and put the ball into the bottom corner.

“We do it for the fans because they travel a long way to see us so it was great to get the goal and celebrate in front of them.”

Eze also enjoyed linking up with fellow goal-getter Hugill for the first time.

The R’s new number nine was a handful throughout the afternoon and marked his debut with the opener inside eight minutes.

“His goal gave us a lot of confidence,” Eze said. “We needed that lift, especially at this type of stadium where the crowd’s behind them.

“Jordan’s a big threat up top. He draws a lot of attention from the defenders so it gives players like myself, Bright [Osayi-Samuel] and Josh [Scowen] space and time.”

Victory didn’t come easy, though, as Clucas’ 78th-minute response ensured a nail-biting finale.

Rangers managed to weather the storm, though, much to Eze and co’s relief.

"It was nervy in the end but we were prepared for that,” Eze said. “When a team gets a goal back, they’re going to apply more pressure and push you back. But we worked hard, dug in and got the win we felt we deserved.”

After a winning start, Warburton's side will hope to build on that in W12 when they welcome Huddersfield Town to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium this weekend.

Like Stoke, Huddersfield are amongst the promotion-favourites following relegation from the Premier League but Eze believes Saturday’s display should stand Rangers in good stead.

“It was a solid performance,” he added. “The boys worked hard, we created chances and that’s what the gaffer wanted.

“That performance we put in should give us a lot of confidence going into the next game. We shouldn’t fear anybody.”
