Second-half goals from Neal Maupay, Said Benrahma and Sergi Canos gave Brentford a resounding victory in the derby at Griffin Park.
Maupay scored with a penalty five minutes after the interval – his 23rd goal of the season.
Grant Hall was adjudged to have bundled over Benrahma as they chased Moses Odubajo’s ball over the top, and Maupay calmly steered his spot-kick beyond Joe Lumley.
Maupay set up the second for Benrahma, scored with 19 minutes remaining.
Again QPR were undone by a simple ball forward, with Maupay skipping past keeper Lumley before unselfishly teeing up Benrahma for a simple finish.
And in the final seconds, substitute Canos’ deflected strike capped a great day for the Bees, who were by far the better side,
Lumley produced two fine saves to keep Rangers in it before the second goal, denying Benrahma at point-blank range and pushing away Henrik Dalsgaard’s header.

Whats all this rubbish about getting back to basics then. Professional footballers should be well beyond that stage.
Good to see Marcondes on the field again, just in time for the run in.
So far so good at half time. Memo to Brentford - "Must improve your security, or do we intend ground sharing?"
