Loftus Road was buzzing on Saturday as Rangers ran riot Richard Kone's star turn had QPR historians thumbing through their record books as the men from W12 came up with a statement win at Loftus Road. The striker scored a hat-trick inside the first 16 minutes to blow away high-riding Swansea City, while Jimmy Dunne added two more to make it a miserable visit for the Welshmen. It is thought to be the third quickest hat-trick from the start of a match in EFL history and the fas

And 'Come On' they certainly did A few days on from their London Stadium draw, both QPR and West Ham cut loose in style to underline their respective promotion credentials on Wednesday night. QPR emphatically saw off Derby County at Loftus Road (4-1) to move up to fifth place in the table while the Hammers hit six for the second time this season - taking advantage of Lincoln City having two players sent off by the 23rd minute to run out 6-0 winners at Sincil Bank. The Hoops r

Bukayo Saka's injury-time penalty secured a 2-0 win at the Stadium of Light, where the Gunners dropped two points last season in a 2-2 draw. Mikel Arteta should have been beaming after a victory which comes at the end of a week where Chelsea were overcome at the Emirates and N

The Hammers were on song ; Picture @CapitalFootballUK Having swept to the top of the table with three wins out of three, Nathan Jones' Charlton Athletic travelled to Stoke City full of optimism, but a chastening first 45 minutes saw them well and truly humbled. Two goals from Justin Devenny, a deadline signing from Crystal Palace, one from Ethan Galbraith and another from George Hirst gave the Potters a 4-0 half-time lead. The Addicks did well to avoid further embarrassment a

Table Toppers It may not have been that spectacular, but Charlton Athletic fans are not complaining. Karlan Grant's 56th minute strike was enough to beat Preston 1-0 at the Valley on Sunday to make it an unexpectedly perfect start to this new Championship season for Nathan Jones' men. That made it three wins out of three for the Addicks, who are the only team with a 100 per cent record in the division. It once again owed much to a solid defence, with keeper Arthur Okonkwo hav

Picture by @YTJourno QPR turned in a dominant display in their first home league game of the season in the Championship but had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Bolton Wanderers. They won the shot count 18-2 with 10 on target compared to none for the Trotters. But they were unable to follow up last week's impressive win at Portsmouth with another victory. Julien Stephan was in philosophical mood afterwards, however - and happy to move on after a decent performance. "It's foot

Chery spent 18 months at the club between the summer of 2015 and January 2017, carving out a reputation for pulling rabbits out of his hat with the occasional wonder goal. Since their relegation to the Championship, just a few months before his arrival fro

A very satisfied Julien Stephan has pointed to the fundamental tenets for a successful QPR campaign. The R's boss had justified satisfaction following an opening day Championship raid on the south coast. A long-awaited 3-1 win at Portsmouth was well deserved. Coming from an early setback, two goals from Ilias Chair and another from Koki

Opening day match programme His mistake may have paved the way for defeat but new signing Pierce Charles has a big fan in boss Julien Stephan. The 21-year-old, who is on loan from Man City, having cut his teeth at Sheffield Wednesday last season, paid a heavy price for dropping a cross straight into the path of Millwall's Luke Cundle in Saturday's EFL Cup clash at Loftus Road. It offered up the easiest of tap-ins for the Lions' poacher and although QPR foought back with a lat
