Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Robert Green has claimed that Monday's 2-0 victory over Aston Villa is sure to give everyone at the club a lift.

The R's moved to within two points of safety last night as a Charlie Austin brace saw them end their five-game winless run in the Premier League.

With Chelsea and Manchester City up next for QPR, Green believes that their triumph over Villa could not have come at a better time.

"It is pleasing to get the win, I'm delighted for everyone," he told Sky Sports News. "It gives you that little bit of a lift going into two tough games. If we hadn't won you'd be looking at the next two games with a bit more concern."

QPR continue their Premier League campaign on Saturday when they play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
