Goals from Eduardo Vargas, Charlie Austin and Bobby Zamora have given Queens Park Rangers a vital 3-0 half-time lead over hosts West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League this afternoon.
Albion looked to register their intent early on when Chris Brunt whipped in a cross for Brown Ideye, with the striker heading wide of the target.
QPR soon hit back with a chance through Matthew Phillips, who twisted well to fire off a shot that left Boaz Myhill to make a smart stop in the top centre of goal.
The Baggies should have taken the lead in the 14th minute as Darren Fletcher delivered a ball to the back post for Ideye, but he could not find the finishing touch from a mere eight yards out.
Rangers made the hosts pay soon after when Vargas was picked out by Austin, leaving the midfielder to rifle a standout finish into the bottom left corner from outside of the box.
The away side doubled their advantage in the 37th minute when Austin broke free to head home from Niko Kranjcar's corner.
Chris Ramsey's men grabbed an important third right before the stroke of half time, with Zamora producing a memorable finish into the bottom left corner.
