QPR remain winless in the Premier League this season under Mark Hughes following a 2-1 loss at home to West Ham on Monday.

Matt Jarvis and Ricardo Vaz Te scored in the first half for the visitors, with home goalkeeper Julio Cesar particularly culpable for the second, having been beaten at the near post.

The Hoops came on strongly in the second half, and Adel Taarabt pulled one back with a pearler from 25 yards shortly after entering the fray.

QPR's Samba Diakite, another introduced off the bench, was sent off for two bookable offences, and the Hammers had eight players cautioned.

The Hoops did bombard Jussi Jaaskelainen's goal as the clock ticked down, but the Finnish goalkeeper was equal to everything thrown at him.

The result means Hughes' side remain rooted to the foot of the table.
