Half-time: Fulham 3 QPR 0

QPR are on course for another hammering at Craven Cottage.

Moussa Dembele, Ben Pringle and Ross McCormack scored for Fulham in totally one-sided first half of the west London derby.

Dembele put the Whites ahead after just two minutes when he sneaked in unmarked to head home James Husband’s left-wing cross.

And worse followed for Chris Ramsey’s side after Alejandro Faurlin gave the ball away on 19 minutes.

Pringle pounced on Faurlin’s attempted pass to Karl Henry and fired past keeper Rob Green from the edge of the penalty area.

QPR, beaten 6-0 at Fulham in 2011, have been woeful, although Massimo Luongo missed a great chance to equalise shortly before the second goal when a nice Rangers move ended with the Australian steering a first-time shot wide of the near post.

When Fulham put together a similar string of passes, McCormack was spotted by Tom Cairney after drifting away from Nedum Onouha and the striker finished brilliantly, shooting beyond Green and into the far corner.
