Middlesbrough defeats QPR 1-0 overnight.
Middlesbrough moved up to second in the Championship and ended QPR's unbeaten start to the season with a narrow victory in west London.
Will Lankshear grabbed his seventh goal since his summer move from Tottenham Hotspur in the 20th minute as Boro won on the road for the first time since a 4-0 success at this ground in March.
They missed chances to go further ahead with home goalkeeper Pierce Charles making crucial saves from Lankshear and Tommy Conway.
Without that, QPR grew in belief and were close to an equaliser when Harvey Vale struck the woodwork, while Radek Vitek made some good stops as the hosts slipped one place to third with this defeat after opening with three wins and a draw.

West Ham defeat Derby County 3 zip overnight.
Substitute Edvin Austbo scored his first goal for West Ham to help them overcome Derby County and string back-to-back wins together for the first time since January.
Joel Piroe had put the dominant Hammers up early on, meeting a knock-down header from Taty Castellanos to prod home from point-blank range.
Rams goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom made a number of saves to keep the visitors in the contest until late on, only for Austbo to put the game beyond the Rams with a slotted finish in the 87th minute.
Mohamadou Kante also came off the bench to score his first goal for the club, completing West Ham's second win in five days after they beat Wolves 4-2 for their first Championship triumph of the season.
West Ham thoroughly outplayed Derby for the three points just a day after Daniel Kretinsky increased his stake in the club to 46%, which has effectively frozen former Newcastle director Amanda Staveley out from her attempts to invest in the London club.
While the boardroom moves made headlines before kick-off, it was captain Jarrod Bowen who helped shift the focus back to action in the early minutes at the London Stadium.
It was his cross to the back post that Castellanos cushioned back across goal for Piroe to prod home.
Derby never recovered from the early setback.
