Steve McClaren's QPR have struggled in the Championship, winning just one of their first five games

Queens Park Rangers are through to the third round of the Carabao Cup after a comfortable win against Bristol Rovers.

Bright Osayi-Samuel put the Championship side ahead after just four minutes, scoring from the edge of the area after a swift counter attack.

Winger Pawel Wszolek then doubled the home side's lead 14 minutes later with a low strike from 20 yards.

Matt Smith's second-half header sealed victory, before Ed Upson's shot went in off Osman Kakay for Rovers.

It gave manager Steve McClaren a second successive win, after a difficult start to his reign at Loftus Road.

Saturday's win over Wigan was their first win in the Championship following four straight losses, which included a 7-1 defeat at West Brom.
