QPR Under-21s lose 3-0 to Brentford on Monday

Jan Holldack, Montell Moore and Jermaine Udumaga on target

Samba Diakite sees first-half penalty saved at Harlington



QPR’s Under-21s suffered a 3-0 reverse to west London neighbours Brentford on Monday.Two early goals proved the R’s undoing, with Jan Holldack and Montell Moore on target within the opening ten minutes at Harlington for the visitors.Samba Diakite had an opportunity soon after to halve the deficit, but his penalty was saved before Jermaine Udumaga’s late strike condemned Rangers to defeat.Paul Hall’s side – returning to action after last week’s ten-goal thriller with Huddersfield Town – fell behind inside six minutes. Udamaga and Holldack exchanged passes inside the area, with the latter providing the finishing touch from six yards.Head Coach, Chris Ramsey, watched from the sidelines as one became two just four minutes later. Moore showed a neat piece of skill to slalom between two R’s defenders and slide his shot inside Joe Lumley’s far post.Rangers responded soon after, and were handed a golden chance to reply when Jake Mulraney was tripped in the box. Diakite’s spot-kick, though, was well saved by Bees ‘keeper Jack Bonham, who dived low to his left to keep out the midfielder’s attempt.Brentford’s lead could have been stretched before half-time, with Moore just missing the target from 25 yards while Lumley denied Holldack a second on the half-hour mark.At the other end, Ryan Manning came closest but his low shot was well held by Bonham.As the rain poured down in the second half, chances continued to fall Brentford’s way.They would eventually add a third 12 minutes from time. Udumaga drove forward before finding the bottom corner from 20 yards to add gloss to the scoreline.Lumley, Shodipo (Wise 62), Kakay, Jones, Haran, Mitchell, Mulraney, Diakite (Sutherland 62), Best, Manning, Prohouly (Crichlow 62).Subs (not used): Hudnott.
