Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes gave the R's the lead on just two minutes.

But it was a later move that got fans purring.

Ilias Chair, Chris Willock and Taylor Richards lined up behind Dykes in QPR's attack.

And in the 23rd minute, they all combined to produce a brilliant move.

In a fantastic example of pass and move football, the R's pinged it around their League Two opponents.

Eventually working the ball to Willock in the box, the winger nut-megged his marker to reach the byline.

The former England youth international then squared the ball across, only for Wimbledon goalkeeper Alex Bass to produce an excellent save.

Johnnie Jackson's side hit back through Josh Neufville in the second half, with the match going on to finish 1-1.

But QPR's enthusiasm wasn't dampened by their failure to win.

Viewing the clip of their fantastic first-half move, one fan wrote: "Looking like Queen’s Park Rangácticos."

While a second tweeted: "This clip will no doubt boost QPR up a few places in the predicted tables."

A third commented: "This from the long ball merchant Gareth Ainsworth. Just goes to show what can be achieved if you’ve got the resources."

While another added: "Ainsworth is cooking."

The QPR boss was effusive in his praise for his players after the match.

The attacking play was out of this world at times

Gareth Ainsworth

He said: "In the first half we played some really good stuff.

“The attacking play was out of this world at times. It’s just that finishing touch – can we hit the target more?

“If you were here watching somebody and potentially wanting to sign them then you’re going to put them on your target list because, going forward sometimes, they’re uncoachable they really are.

“You put a structure in to get them the ball and then there’s areas they pop up in and they see passes and moves that I don’t see as a coach – and no coach sees.

"It’s great to see that play and it’s great to see the fluidity they went forward with."
