QPR, a man down after Bobby Zamora’s 21st-minute sending-off, could sense a route away from relegation when Loïc Rémy gave them the lead with a stunning right-foot shot on 85 minutes but, four minutes into stoppage time, Shaun Maloney curled a free-kick he had won past Júlio César and into the top corner.The result leaves QPR, who are without a win in three games, in 19th, seven points from safety with only six Premier League fixtures to play."[This is the toughest result] in my football career, never mind the season,” Redknapp said. "We didn’t deserve that, we deserved to win. We played with 10 men for nearly the whole game. It was a fantastic performance from every player and for them to lose is criminal. What have they [Wigan] done? They’ve kept the ball, passed it in front of us, but how many saves has our keeper had to make? Hardly any. My players are very low, as am I."If we had come off with three points with 10 men it would have given us a massive boost, a massive lift, and you’d have thought we could still win four games. But now it is going to be very hard [to stay up].”
