Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna was pleased with the way his team rallied in the second half of their 4-1 win at QPR.

George Hirst and Marcelino Nunez each scored twice at Loftus Road, with the former putting Ipswich in front after two minutes.

QPR were level at the break but McKenna was pleased with the response.

"A good win for us, two brilliant team goals and two brilliant individual goals at a big moment," speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk.

"Good experience for the team to go through.

"We had a good start and probably didn't build on it enough. But we stuck in and we knew we could build in the second half. Once we got the goals we played some really good stuff."

Both of Nunez's goals were free kicks, and McKenna was delighted for the midfielder who arrived in the summer from East Anglian rivals Norwich City.

"Marcelino is a really good set-piece taker. He practices a lot as much as I've seen anyone practice so he deserves his rewards," McKenna added.

"The subs came on with good energy, we defended well and look a threat."
