QPR graced the Sky Sports cameras with a wonderful display of attacking football that blew away Championship pace-setters Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Martin Rowlands' second goal of the season just past the hour mark gave the R's a 1-0 victory, but Radek Cerny was the hero after three fantastic saves denied Wolves a ninth straight win.

The match also saw Heidar Helguson make his home debut and the Iceland striker was clearly in the mood to make up for his glaring miss against Crystal Palace a week ago. But despite his best efforts in an encouraging display, he could not find a way past Wayne Hennessy in the Wolves goal.

For the visit of the League leaders, Rowlands replaced the suspended Mikele Leigertwood, whilst on-loan striker Helguson marked his home debut with a start.

Damiano Tommasi returned to the bench and he was joined by new-boy Gary Borrowdale and the returning Lee Cook.

Wolves had a familiar face within their starting XI, with ex-Rangers loanee Michael Mancienne taking up a place alongside Richard Stearman at centre back.

Elsewhere, danger-men Chris Iwelumo and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake continued in attack, whilst Matt Jarvis returned to the squad.

It was home debutant Helguson who had the opening chance. Hogan Ephraim's cross was only just knocked down by Dexter Blackstock and, as Wolves struggled to clear their lines, Helguson stole in and smashed a snapshot over the bar.

Ephraim was the architect for the next Rangers opening. Rowlands picked him out in the centre circle and as he strode on, he played in Patrick Agyemang. Mancienne should've dealt with the pass, but somehow the ball left him in a tangle. Luckily for the loan star, Hennessey pulled off a stunning point-blank save to deny the R's striker.

Wolves, stunned by the early Rangers onslaught, clawed their way back into the contest. Dave Edwards curled a fine left-footed effort narrowly wide of the R's goal, after Gavin Mahon had failed to clear.

Rangers were very much taking the game to the visitors and Blackstock had perhaps the best chance of the match so far on 19 minutes. Damion Stewart's long ball was headed into Helguson's path by Rowlands, and, with an inch-perfect pass, the Iceland international released his strike partner on goal.

As the ball kicked up of the lush Loftus Road surface, the former Saints hit-man could only send his shot over, but Rangers were looking threatening.

However, it was Wolves who nearly made the breakthrough. Peter Ramage's crude challenge on Michael Kightly gave David Jones a chance to show off his free-kick ability. And he came within a whisker of opening the scoring, his left foot kick swerving just off target.

With not even half an hour on the clock, Rangers made the first change, with Blackstock coming off, with Cook his replacement.

Agyemang was clearly revelling in the fact the Sky cameras were in attendance, with every trick he tried coming off. He ran Wolves ragged when he nut-megged Kevin Foley and burst into the box, teeing up Helguson. Unfortunately, the latter could not test Hennessey with a strong enough shot.

Cook found him, moments later, out on the left, and, with Foley once again beaten, the Ghanaian cut inside on his right foot but blazed wide of the target.

With Rangers dominating proceedings, Cook was next in line to try his luck as one-time Watford colleague Helguson found space on the left before cutting the ball back for the substitute.

Cook's drilled shot needed a strong two-handed block from Hennessey and luckily for Wolves, the rebound was cleared.

The second half saw the R's pick up where they left off. A long punt forward caught the Wolves defence flat-footed and Helguson stole in to lash a shot at goal. Incredulously, the ball hit the inside of Hennessey's left foot and somehow flew wide, leaving Helguson in disbelief.

Helguson was left stunned again seconds later as Cook's right-wing cross looked to give the Icelander an easy tap in. That was not meant to be however, as Stearman dove full stretch to poke the ball out for a corner at the last second.

On 55 minutes, Cerny kept the R's in it. Another Jones free-kick looked to be sneaking into the Czech keeper's bottom left-hand corner only for the Rangers Number 1 to dive full-stretch and turn it round the post.

Then suddenly, after 63 minutes, the home side made the breakthrough with skipper Rowlands scoring with a fantastic strike. After scrapping for and winning the ball 25 yards from goal, the Rangers skipper took a look up and hammered a drive that swerved in the air and sailed over the head of Hennessey.

Cerny made it a hat-trick of top-class saves after brilliantly lunging and keeping out a Wolves header from Jarvis's pinpoint cross.

Wolves were firmly on top now and substitute Sam Vokes drew another fine save out of Cerny.

The form of the Czech alongside the dogged determination of Stewart and Kaspars Gorkss beside him saw Rangers hang on, and almost steal another after Samuel Di Carmine fired narrowly wide, to record a stunning victory over the table-toppers.
