BRENTFORD 3, QPR 1
All over here at Griffin Park as Brentford run out 3-1 winners. The home side netted their three goals in 24 minute blitz in the first-half and Rangers never really recovered thereafter though they did find a consolation goal through Nahki Wells. A tough result to take after the positive displays of recent weeks but Mark Warburton will now look to lift his side ahead of next Saturday’s visit of Leeds United.
Manning booked
Manning the latest to see yellow for a challenge in QPR's half.
Added time
There'll be five minutes of added time to see this one out.
Osayi-Samuel into the book
The winger sees yellow for a tackle on Marcondes on the halfway line.
Change for Brentford
Dasilva is replaced by Marcondes.
Changes for both sides
Shodipo comes on for Chair for Rangers while Valencia replaces Mbuemo.
Nearly a second!
Chair frees Manning on the left, his low cross is steered goalwards by Eze and Raya just about keeps his strike out.
Change for Brentford
Jensen is replaced by Mokotjo.
Change for QPR
Goalscorer Wells makes way for Jordan Hugill.
Cameron goes in the book
The American the latest to see yellow for a foul in QPR's half.
Wells pulls one back for the R's
Some neat interplay between Amos and Osayi-Samuel sees the latter square the ball across the six-yard box where Wells is able to flick into the net. Is the comeback on?
GOAL!
Kane carded
Kane is next to be booked as he too brings down Benrahma deep in QPR's half.
Hall sees yellow
Hall goes into the book as he brings down Benrahma on the edge of the box.
Back underway at Griffin Park
What can Rangers show in the second half? Much better performance needed.
Change for the R's at half-time
Masterson comes on to make his league debut for the R's in place of Ball. Cameron pushes into midfield.
BRENTFORD 3, QPR 0
A half to forget for Rangers. Goals from Benrahma, Mbueno and Watkins has the home side three to the good after a dominant first-half display.
Rangers threaten
Rangers' best passage of play this half sees Chair nearly through on goal but he's dispossessed by a last-ditch tackle from Dalsgaard.
A third for Brentford
Watkins gets the home side's third as nods in a free-kick from six-yards out. Rangers with it all to do now.
Rangers under pressure now
Brentford pouring forward with confidence now as Dasilva's low cross is deflected behind by Cameron.
A second for Brentford
Mbeumo volleys home a bouncing ball in the box to double Brentford's lead.
Goal for Brentford
Benrahma converts Jensen's low driven free-kick from the right.
Nearly an opener!
Jansson makes a meal of Manning's cross from the left as the defender somehow heads his attempted clearance back towards his own goal but Raya does well to swat away the danger.
Close call
Watkins makes a run in behind Geoff Cameron who tangles with the striker in the box but the referee waves away calls for a penalty. Rangers need to be wary of that long ball over the top.
Off we go!
Brentford get things underway. Come on you super hoops!
Out come the teams
Grant Hall leads the R's out onto the pitch. Cracking atmosphere at Griffin Park.
Team news is in...
Not far off now
Here come the boys
The stage is set
