QPR ride luck to break Fulham duck despite Mason’s efforts – Report

QPR rounded off a tough week for manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink with a somewhat fortunate late win at bogey ground Craven Cottage.
None of the Queens Park Rangers players were born when QPR last won at Craven Cottage in 1980, and few of them probably have much idea how they managed it on Saturday.
A topsy-turvy, fiercely entertaining afternoon of Championship football included two missed Fulham penalties (and a host of other sitters beside), a refereeing performance Rob Styles would have been proud of, a first league goal in QPR colours for Conor Washington, a late winning goal for Idrissa Sylla and a crazy five minutes of stoppage time in which the hosts hit the woodwork on two separate occasions while chasing an equaliser.
For the long suffering QPR fans who've seen five straight defeats on this ground in the modern era, including the last three where Rangers were trailing by three goals at half time, any sort of win by the river is more than welcome. For those who've been suffering the dreary matches involving our team so far this season, it was nice to have the pulse racing and the senses stimulated by football again. And Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, at the end of a week when an overblown Daily Telegraph 'sting' called his job into question, probably felt he was due a bit of luck.
