Highlights of QPR's 2-2 draw with Brighton in the Sky Bet Championship.

QPR came from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Brighton at Loftus Road on Tuesday thanks to a Charlie Austin double.
Brighton struck twice in three second-half minutes to go ahead, Dale Stephens turning home an acrobatic overhead kick in the 53rd minute before an optimistic Rajiv Van La Parra strike caught out Robert Green shortly after.
Austin pulled one back on 65 minutes, before Albion defender Lewis Dunk saw red after receiving a second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Alejandro Faurlin with six minutes to play.
QPR made the visitors pay just four minutes later, Austin rising highest from a corner to head past David Stockdale, and the home side had a chance to win it deep into seven minutes of added time, but Matt Phillips' low drive clipped the outside of the post.
The draw maintains Brighton's unbeaten start to the season but they drop to second after Middlesbrough's 1-0 win over Burnley. QPR move into the top half of the table, and sit six points of the playoff places in 12th place.
