QPR fans turned on each other after Brentford ended their 52-year wait for victory at Loftus Road.

On a week when crowd trouble has dominated the headlines, there was more unsavoury incidents during last night’s west London derby.

Goals from Josh Clarke and Romaine Sawyers earned the Bees bragging rights over their rivals to fire them right back into the promotion picture after four games without a win.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s side were booed off at the full-time whistle and tempers appeared to boil over in the stands as supporters clashed.

It follows the violence at West Ham’s London Stadium on Wednesday night that marred their EFL Cup win over Chelsea.

Hoops boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was unaware of the ugly scenes in the stands but said: “I don’t want to see anybody fighting in the stadium.”

QPR have only won twice at home all season, and the Dutchman suggested the players are struggling to perform on their own patch.

“I understand the fans’ frustrations,” he added. “That pressure is not going to help the players. Why do we win more games away from home? I’m not using that as an excuse. We weren’t good enough.”

His side were second best throughout as Brentford dominated to move within a point of the top six.

Clarke gave the visitors a deserved lead before the break when he turned Nedum Onuoha inside out before slotting the ball under Alex Smithies.

The win was overshadowed by a serious-looking injury to substitute Lewis MacLeod, who was stretchered off in the dying seconds clutching his knee.

Smith is keeping his fingers crossed it will not be another long lay-off for the former Rangers midfielder, who has made just 10 starts in the last 18 months.

He added: “Lewis is on crutches with his knee in a brace. He felt a click. Hopefully it’s nothing long term.”
