MATCH IN A MINUTE coming to you from Craven Cottage where the watching Friday night television audience saw Fulham dispatch West London rivals Queens Park Rangers 4-0.

The Whites led after just 117 seconds through a header from Moussa Dembele, as a far post cross from the left by James Husband found the talented teenager unmarked.

Massimo Loungo sliced wide from 12 yards for QPR before Fulham made t two as a careless pass from Karl Henry saw Ben Pringle intercept, and score left-footed across the ‘keeper.

A third came just after the half-hour mark as Tom Cairney found Ross McCormack down the left, who found a similar finish to Pringle’s

The striker made it a brace with a second-half tap-in, meaning Fulham claim the bragging rights, and a first clean sheet in 12 attempts this season. They host Wolves on Tuesday before another derby next Sunday, at Charlton.

Charlie Austin, who this week admitted that staying at QPR will cost him a place in the England side looking towards the 2016 European Championships, went off injured in the second-half.

Thus things go from bad to worse for Rangers, who will seek their first win in five Championship games when facing Bolton at home next Saturday.
