Hogan Ephraim is adamant he didn't deserve to see red in the R's 2-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

The R's winger was given his marching orders in added time, after referee Mr Neil Swarbrick adjudged him to have 'elbowed' Owls loanee Franck Songo'o.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Ephraim said: "I didn't feel it was a sending off.

"The referee said I elbowed him, but I don't know where he got that from.

"Our feet clashed and I think that is what he gave the free-kick for initially.

"The crowd were buzzing at the end and that probably played a part in the referee's decision."

Ephraim, who entered the fray as a second half substitute, added: "It's a really hard defeat to take after the way we dominated the first half.

"We should have been home and dry after half an hour, but we paid the price for missing our chances."
