GALLERY: QPR 3 Albion 2

ALBION fell to a 3-2 Barclays Premier League defeat against QPR on a frustrating afternoon at Loftus Road.

Joleon Lescott and Silvestre Varela handed the Baggies a dream start with their first goals for the club.

But a first-half penalty from Charlie Austin gave the hosts hope before the R's striker completed his hat-trick after the break, including a dramatic 86th-minute winner.
