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.

abstract
| - 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. Victory lifted Brentford to within a point of the Championship play-off places after 15 games, but Lewis Macleod was carried off the pitch on a stretcher after suffering a knee injury. Defeat leaves Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's QPR 13th in the table with only one win from their past seven home league matches. In a high-tempo start to the west London derby, Brentford carved out several chances with Sawyers forcing Smithies into the first save of the match after 20 minutes. Scott Hogan twice threatened for the Bees, while Conor Washington was the first to test Brentford keeper Daniel Bentley before Clarke put the visitors ahead. QPR looked brighter after the interval, with Tjaronn Chery a particular menace, but it was Sawyers' neat side-footed finish that ensured victory for Dean Smith's side and ended a four-match winless run.
