    That's it from our coverage of this west London derby.

    The first half wasn't vintage but the second half at Loftus Road was packed with action.

    And, if anyone needed it, tonight served as a reminder that you should never leave a football match early.

    QPR may not have looked like mounting a comeback but somehow they managed it.

    Til next time, goodbye.

    I felt we did very well and didn't deserve to be two down. We keep talking about having character and we kept fighting. Half our fans have gone home so I'd like to say to them 'why didn't you stay?'. Don't go home early.

    I can't sum it up. A couple of minutes ago I was really happy. It feels like we leave with nothing. We stopped playing but it doesn't really matter now

    That finish is still sinking in. R's boss Ian Holloway obviously loved it.

    A comeback was hardly looking likely but Rangers suddenly picked up two goals from two set-pieces.

    As it is, they avoid a fourth straight defeat while Brentford miss a chance to move up to 10th.

    We have got a knack of scoring goals in the late stages of games. The goals were a bit scrappy but we'll take a point. The season has its ups and downs and hopefully that can spur us on.

    Well, that was quite frankly a mad few minutes of injury time.

    First Matt Smith reduced the arrears and then Luke Freeman grabs a share of the points for QPR.

    Talk about late drama... Brentford fans will be feeling pretty sick right now.

    Neal Maupay goes into the book. That is pure frustration from the Brentford striker after a decision goes against him.

    Luke Freeman

    Incredible!

    QPR have a leveller right a the death!

    A long free-kick from midway inside the Bees half is headed down by Matt Smith and Luke Freeman ghosts in to turn it in past a despairing Daniel Bentley.

    The stands were emptying but the R's have surely grabbed a point.

    Matt Smith

    Well well well, this makes it interesting.

    Bees keeper Daniel Bentley comes for a corner but messes it up.

    The ball spins high off the head of Jake Bidwell and Matt Smith is on hand to nod it in off the crossbar.

    There's about 90 second left to find an equaliser.

    Time is running out for the hosts. A comeback is looking very unlikely.

    Kazenga LuaLua gets into the box but mishits his cross.

    There will be four minutes of injury time.

    You'd think the Bees will manage to see it out.

    Can QPR make it interesting?

    QPR 0-2 Brentford

    Ollie Watkins cuts in from the Brentford left and wins a corner as his shot is deflected wide.

    The Bees will look to run down the clock now and Watkins takes an age to go over the the right and take this corner.

    Nico Yennaris eventually had a dig from 30 yards out, but it is well wide.

    Matt Smith gets in behind the Bees defence, but the ball won't drop for him and Andreas Bjelland gets back to head the ball back to his keeper.

    That second goal from Lasse Vibe has understandably sucked a bit of life out of Rangers.

    Can they mount a comeback in the final few minutes?

    A ball from Luke Freeman searching for Conor Washington rolls out of play.

    QPR 0-2 Brentford

    The Bees come on the counter attack, and Ollie Watkins' shot is deflected off Jack Robinson.

    R's keeper Alex Smithies somehow gets something on it to put it behind for a corner.

    An opening for Rangers as Pawel Wszolek breaks into the box on the right hand side and cuts the ball back.

    There are plenty of red and white shirts back and the danger is cleared.

    Lasse Vibe's evening is over.

    He's scored two fine goals, opening his goal account for the season.

    Neal Maupay comes on up front in his place.

    Lasse Vibe

    After surviving pressure from the hosts, Brentford double their lead following a fine passing move.

    Romaine Sawyers backheels the ball and combines with Kamo Mokotjo, who returns the pass to Sawyers on the byline.

    He squares it to Lasse Vibe, who sends a shot across goal and into the bottom left hand corner.

    A clinical finish from the Dane and the Bees look like they are on their way to the three points.

    Another penalty shot from Rangers, as Matt Smith sends a powerful strike goalwards and it hits a Brentford defender.

    That looked like a hopeful claim, as it struck a chest.
