(Reuters) - Ten-man Queens Park Rangers snatched a 90th-minute goal through substitute Bobby Zamora to clinch promotion to the Premier League with a 1-0 win against Derby County in the Championship playoff final at Wembley on Saturday.

After QPR were reduced to 10 men when Gary O'Neil was sent off in the 60th minute, Derby laid siege to their opponents' goal but could not find a way past a well-drilled defence in a match billed as the richest in world football.
