QPR defeated Derby County 4-1 at Loftus Road on Wednesday in a Championship fixture. Alfie Lloyd gave QPR the lead with what was described as a 'thumping finish', before Nicolas Madsen converted a penalty after Paul Smyth was fouled by Ryan Hedges. Harvey Vale extended the lead to 3-0, and Smyth's shot was deflected in to make it 4-0. Derby pulled one back late in the game through Lars-Jorgen Salvesen.
Derby's injury problems worsened during the match when Sondre Langas was forced off after ten minutes. The club already had Max Johnston, Charlie Taylor, Eiran Cashin, Matt Clarke, Craig Forsyth, Derry Murkin, Patrick Agyemang and Jacob Widell Zetterstrom unavailable. Right-back Ryan Nyambe was pressed into service in defence following Langas's injury.
Derby made changes at half-time, introducing Lewis Travis and Henrik Meister in an attempt to spark a comeback. The defeat leaves Derby second from bottom of the Championship on a six-game winless run. QPR moved to fifth place in the table with the victory.
