QPR 1 - 3 Port Vale

Justin Richards scored twice to help League Two Port Vale spring a shock and knock Championship QPR out of the Carling Cup in the first round.

Vale started well and John McCombe headee against the bar before Richards raced clear to slot the opener.

Doug Loft then played in Sean Rigg, who driving in a left-footed shot for 2-0.

Richards added another when he tapped in a rebound and although Antonio German's drive went in off the post to pull a goal back, QPR were well beaten.

Rangers boss Neil Warnock may rue making five changes to the side which opened the Championship season so impressively with a thumping 4-0 win over Barnsley on Saturday.

And he was unable to rouse his side at half-time, with his side two goals down, and must now suffer the consequences and embarrassment of an early exit.

Rangers will also look back at a disallowed goal when defender Matt Connolly thought he had halved their deficit after the break when he headed in Gary Borrowdale's corner, but referee Gary Sutton blew for a push.

However, Vale were value for what is a famous win as they defended solidly to prevent their opponents scoring more than once in reply.
