Slavisa Jokanovic earned his first victory as Fulham manager as three goals in 10 first-half-minutes earned an impressive 3-1 Championship win at QPR on Saturday.

Ross McCormack put Fulham ahead after slotting home following a fine Tom Cairney pass 34 minutes in, and that goal saw QPR collapse before the interval.

Moussa Dembele scored the Cottagers' second with a header from a Jamie O'Hara cross on 40 minutes, and Cairney got one himself after Dembele hit the post just before half-time.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side struggled to create anything of note as the Loftus Road supporters grew more frustrated as the game wore on, and Cairney missed a fine chance to make it four just past the hour with a tame shot.

QPR pulled a goal back late on through Tjaronn Chery, but it was too little, too late for the hosts as Fulham boosted their survival hopes and put a huge dent in QPR's promotion bid.
