Kevin Doyle scores a debut goal for Queens Park Rangers

Meanwhile, another Ireland international, Richard Dunne, was also on target with a volley.

AFTER HIS LOAN move to QPR was confirmed early yesterday, Kevin Doyle has not taken long to adapt to life at Loftus Road.

The Ireland player headed home from close range after Burnley failed to deal with a dangerous cross.

Doyle’s Irish teammate, Richard Dunne, also got his name on the scoresheet, volleying home to put his side 2-1 ahead.

However, the visitors fought back, and despite a goal from another QPR debutant — Modibo Maiga — Harry Redknapp’s side could ultimately only manage a 3-3 draw.

Meanwhile, here’s what Redknapp had to say about Doyle after signing him yesterday.

    Excellent. Hopefully that’s the start of a renaissance in Doyles career.

    I must have been watching a different game! He was non existent in second half but he hasn’t played 90 mins for a while so hopefully things will improve.

    Shane Long scored on his home debut for Hull today as well. Good news all around for us today.

    I might dislike that crowd from Shepherds Bush but hope Doyle keeps banging them in, a player I always liked.

    Heard redknapp described as a ‘waxed womble’ recently. Chuckled.
