Here’s some reaction to the strike:
Chair & Eze were very good second half & Hugill could easily have had a hatrick today – an unbelievable miss from a yard or two out which must be an early contender for miss of the season. But of course slots home a beauty for goal 3. #QPR

Hugill has just put an effort over the bar from three yards… with an open goal. Miss of the season #wafc

Fair play to Hugill for the goal – superb strike but you’d have to go back to 88 with Dean Coney at Pompey to see a worse miss than Hugill’s today? #QPR @paulfinney1969

Mistakes happen to the best of players, Hugill’s response shows just how much of a class act he is:
Erm…. less said about the miss the better ? Main thing is that the boys dug in and we came away with the 3 points! And to eventually get on the scoresheet is always good!! pic.twitter.com/sbmKCIDKlB

Hugill has scored three goals for Mark Warbuton’s side in just five Championship matches, the forward looks to be a real handful for defenders and West Ham fans will be pleased with his progress.
