Half-time: Brentford 0 QPR 0

QPR midfielder Massimo Luongo

QPR’s Massimo Luongo hit the woodwork twice in the first half of the derby at Griffin Park.

Luongo headed Matt Phillips’ left-wing cross against the upright and went close again when his right-footed shot from the near the left-hand edge of the penalty area beat keeper David Button and struck the par post.

Earlier, Tjaronn Chery had had a decent chance for the visitors and John Swift went close for Brentford.

Chery sneaked behind Bees defender Harlee Dean to collect Daniel Tozser’s pass but the Dutchman’s attempted chip was well off target.

On-loan Chelsea youngster Swift then tested Rob Green with a curling effort the Rangers keeper was able to gather.
