Famara Diedhiou's header was his 10th goal of the season in all competitions

Famara Diedhiou's diving header was enough for Bristol City to win their fourth game in a row against Queens Park Rangers.

The striker's effort flew past Liam Kelly after Robins' right-back Jack Hunt incepted the ball and crossed perfectly to the unmarked Senegal international.

Diedhiou forced Kelly to pull off several solid saves throughout the game, including a fine stop from an overhead kick as Lee Johnson's side created the better chances at Loftus Road.

Despite Rangers dominating possession, Mark Warburton's men could only register their first shot on target in the 83rd minute when Jordan Hugill was denied by Daniel Bentley.

Former QPR loan striker Nahki Wells came off the bench for his Robins debut after the hour mark and had a golden chance to score with his first touch.

Han-Noah Massengo floated a cross into the area but the £5m signing headed over the bar completely unmarked.

Bright Osayi-Samuel saw the goal gaping as Rangers searched an equaliser, but the winger was unable to reach Lee Wallace's cross ahead of City full-back Jay Dasilva, who crucially stabbed the ball away.

The win means the Robins have recorded a fourth consecutive league victory without conceding a goal for the first time since February 1990 under Joe Jordan.

They remain sixth in the table, five points below the automatic promotion places, with Rangers back in 16th.

QPR boss Mark Warburton said:

"Against a team that are pushing hard for promotion, you have seen a very dominant, one-sided second half.

"We were a little bit ponderous in the first half in difficult conditions, but we lacked a bit of creativity and guile. In the second half we were so much better, but it is about putting the ball in the back of the net.

"My biggest fear is the players lose belief, because they have got to understand how good they can be. We created chances left, right and centre but we didn't get the rewards."

Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol:

"QPR have got a lot of young talent, they caused us a lot of problems in the second half.

"In the first half, I thought we were good, in particular the first 20-25 minutes. We were very dominant, there was good decision making in our selection of passes and our press was good.

We didn't kill them off and when you don't do that they're always going to throw caution to the wind. We had to defend like Trojans in that last 15-20 minutes."
