Romaine Sawyers scored his first goal for Brentford as they beat Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road for the first time in 52 years. Josh Clarke opened the scoring, moving past Nedum Onuoha before squeezing a shot under QPR keeper Alex Smithies. Sawyers met a Maxime Colin pass with a fine first-time effort into the top left-hand corner to add a second. Idrissa Sylla went closest to a QPR response, only for John Egan to nod his goal-bound header over the bar. Defeat leaves Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's QPR 13th in the table with only one win from their past seven home league matches.
