Performance of the weekend QPR 2 Arsenal 1 Both Chelsea and Liverpool have come unstuck at Loftus Road already this season and on Saturday it was Arsenal's turn. Mark Hughes' side came up against a Gunners team on a run of seven consecutive Premier League wins but their prestigious guests felt uncomfortable all afternoon as the hosts breathed new life into their relegation battle thanks to a 2-1 win. Former Tottenham midfielder Adel Taarabt had fired the hosts into the lead with his first top flight goal, but the visitors soon levelled through Theo Walcott. Rangers, though, snatched what could prove a priceless victory when Samba Diakite crashed his unstoppable shot into the roof of the net midway through the second half to send the home crowd into sheer delirium. Goal of the weekend Adel Taarabt Adel Taarabt fired the hosts into the lead on 22 minutes with his first Premier League goal and what a goal it was too. The Moroccan collected a pass from the halfway line, before turning Thomas Vermaelen on the edge of the penalty area quite magnificently before nonchalantly dispatching the ball into the bottom corner to spark scenes of wild jubilation at Loftus Road. And he celebrated his style by donning a fez that he then threw into the crowd.
