Stoke's willingness to win at the beginning of the game, which was on the verge of falling into the relegation zone, was very strong.

Bae Joon-ho, who had been moving differently from the beginning of the game, appeared in the 21st minute of the first half. Stoke launched an attack on the right.

Bae Joon-ho, who penetrated at the right time, succeeded in finishing by flying his body. It was the moment when Bae Joon-ho's third goal of the season exploded. With this score, Bae Joon-ho surpassed his personal career high record of two goals and five assists last season. He showed further growth with three goals and five assists this season.

Stoke, who scored Bae Joon-ho's first goal, overwhelmed QPR at home. Bae was also directly involved in his team's second goal. In the 44th minute of the first half, Bae Joon-ho crossed after attempting to break through from the left. It led to a threatening shot by Million Manuf, but was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Stoke finished the first half in a good mood as Chama Deu finished the ball hit by the goalkeeper.

When it was on the verge of defeat, QPR tried to change by immediately putting Yang Min-hyuk in at the beginning of the second half. In Yang Min-hyuk's appearance, QPR did not easily change the atmosphere. In the 9th minute of the second half, Manuf had a decisive chance as the back space collapsed, and Manuf, who was in good condition, finished neatly past the goalkeeper.

Yang Min-hyuk was the player who saved QPR's self-esteem, which was collapsing. Yang Min-hyuk received a pass from Jack Callback in the 33rd minute of the second half and took the shot right in front of the penalty box. Yang Min-hyuk's shot shook the net with an exquisite trajectory. It was Yang Min-hyuk's debut goal in Europe, who showed tremendous growth at Gangwon FC and immediately advanced to Tottenham.

Stoke head coach Mark Robinson said "We had a chance to score, but it wasn't easy. Bae Jun-ho's goal seemed like a joke. It was a great score, a really good one. He came into space and arrived just in time, and his shot was perfect at that point," he said in high praise.

In the future, Bae Joon-ho should continue to rescue Stoke from the relegation competition in good form. Stoke is expected to remain near the relegation zone until the end of the season, although the margin has widened.

QPR's recent slump has made it difficult to seek promotion. This is because it has fallen to 15th place in the league. Yang Min-hyuk will have to focus on showing his skills properly before he takes the lead in the main competition and returns to Tottenham.
