Well after a lacklustre first half, things definitely opened up a bit after the break as QPR took control on a dismal afternoon for Cardiff City.

Despite losing midfielder Ben Gladwin to injury after 24 minutes, Queens Park Rangers kept pressing and were rewarded thanks to a dominant display in the final 20 minutes.

Steven Caulker's header gave Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side some breathing space but Tjarron Chery's late penalty wrapped up another win for the Rs and sent them top of the Championship.

Meanwhile Cardiff are yet to score in any of their opening three games of the season, a worrying statistic for Paul Trollope's side.

In the Premier League, Liverpool have just taken the lead against Arsenal thanks to Adam Lallana's strike. You can read our live text of that game here. 

Thank you for joining us.

“It was a very naive performance from Cardiff and was far from good enough. Paul Trollope’s got a lot to do.”

The perfect away performance from QPR. Really solid defensively. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will be absolutely delighted.

And it's all over at the Cardiff City Stadium. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's Queens Park Rangers have gone top of the Championship thanks to two second-half goals.

Cardiff failed to register a shot on target in the whole 90 minutes and rarely troubled the Rs.

Sebastian Polter comes off, having won QPR that late penalty, and is replaced by James Perch.

Conor Washington, meanwhile, replaces goalscorer Tjarron Chery.

There will be five minutes of added time. Five more minutes for QPR to wait before they go top of the Championship.

Karl Henry goes in the book. That's four (read: four) yellow cards QPR have received today.

Top corner! A lot of players wouldn't have attempted that. That's a man playing full of confidence!

You have to say that's game over now.

Sebastian Polter is brought down by Bruno Manga. The visitors have the chance to put this game to bed, here.

Credit to Cardiff, they haven't sat back after going a goal down late on. Substitute Craig Noone plays in to Anthony Pilkington who turns and shoots but it's blocked and it's judged to be a goal kick.

Time is running out if they are to find an equaliser, here.

It's a fantastic, looping header from a fantastic delivery. A super header. He still had a lot to do.

Caulker has been really solid. His performance has been excellent as well.

He fails to celebrate, being an ex-Cardiff man.

Both front men had really been feeding off scraps.

There really hasn't been enough quality, from both teams.

A double substitution for the hosts as new signing Emyr Huws comes on to make his debut along with Kenneth Zahore as the pair replace Frederic Gounongbe and Lex Immers.

Another opportunity for the visitors as Steven Caulker has his second bite of the cherry in just two minutes but this time he fires the ball into the side netting.

QPR are turning the screw, now.

Yeni Ngbakoto wins a free-kick for QPR on the left wing and launches the ball into the box but former Cardiff player Steven Caulker heads wide of the mark.

Frederic Gounongbe is trying to create chances for Cardiff and almost finds the net all of his own accord but his dangerous effort is blocked.

Massimo Luongo goes into the book for a foul on Peter Whittingham. That's Queens Park Rangers' third booking of the afternoon.

At the other end, Cardiff almost get off the mark as Anthony Pilkington rises high to to nod Declan John's cross just over the bar.

Paul Trollope will be happy with his side's response. Still goalless, but for how much longer?
