Summary:

QPR Manager Harry Redknapp was left fuming as Albion retook sixth place in the Premiership with a victory at Loftus Road.

Chris Brunt put Albion ahead after half an hour with a low thirty yard drive. Home keeper Robert Green put the ball into his own net just after the break, and although there was strong suspicion that he'd been fouled by Marc-Antoine Fortune, referee Chris Foy allowed the goal to stand.

Djibril Cisse pulled a goal back for Rangers with half an hour left, and Foy again angered Redknapp when he failed to give a penalty against Liam Ridgwell for handball in the last few minutes.

The win pushes Albion back uo to sixth, partly because of the postponement of Arsnenal's fixture against West Ham.
