Luongo is the best midfielder in the Championship - Holloway

Massimo Luongo is the best midfielder in the Championship, according to his Queens Park Rangers manager Ian Holloway.

The Australian inspired QPR to a 2-2 draw against Millwall on Tuesday night, scoring a fine volley to kick-start a comeback from two goals down.

Holloway was full of praise for the 24-year-old's run of form - believing he was currently the division's best in his position.

"If he starts (scoring more goals) then, wow, what a player we’ve got on our hands.
