The Italian midfielder notched a goal in each half - his first strikes in QPR colours - but only after his foul allowed Forest to open the scoring from the penalty spot in the final minute of the first period.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Alberti said: "I am very pleased to score twice, but I am unhappy we didn't get the three points.

"Of course it is great to score two goals, in only my second start for QPR, but I am disappointed we didn't go on to win the game.

"I have waited a long time for this moment, and I am very happy for myself, my family and our supporters."

Speaking about the incident which led to Forest's opening goal, Alberti said: "I didn't think it was a foul - no penalty. I didn't foul him, he fell over me."
