Josh Maja (65 mins)
HAT-TRICK!!!
Josh Maja is providing a masterclass in centre-forward play at Loftus Road and he has a first hat-trick in English football to show for his afternoon's work.
More good play out wide from Tom Fellows, whose cross is deflected and Maja is on it in a flash to hook it past Paul Nardi from inside the six-yard box.
That is a proper sniffer's goal.

The away side make changes.
Strikers Haji Wright and Brandon Thomas-Asante are both on.
Middlesbrough 1-0 Swansea
News flash... Swansea have had an attempt on goal.
However, Harry Darling's header is miles off target.
But it is a warning to Middlesbrough that one moment could change the whole complex of this match.
Millwall 0-2 Watford
Watford boss Neil Harris rolls the dice and brings on new signing Macauley Langstaff who has been prolific for Notts County these past two seasons.
Play is held up for the time being though as Lions' midfielder Ryan Leonard gets treatment for a knock.
Cardiff 0-1 Sunderland
We said that Aaron Ramsey could be the man for Cardiff and he has a chance as he arrives to meet a deflected cross, but he stumbles at the vital moment and it bounces off him and into the arms of Anthony Patterson.
We have seen that many times over the years with Ramsey finding the net after timing his run into the box.
Oxford Utd 2-0 Norwich
Peter Rhoades-Brown
Former Oxford and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio Oxford
Confidence is high for Oxford but they can't afford to take their foot off the gas.
They need to make sure they work hard. There will be some tired legs out there.
QPR 1-2 West Brom
The hosts have to respond and Lucas Andersen drags an effort wide as they try to find an equaliser.
But Hoops boss Marti Cifuentes turns to his bench with forward Alfie Lloyd on in place of youngster Rayan Kolli.
Millwall 0-2 Watford

BBC Sport at The Den
What a free-kick from Giorgi Chakvetadze!
The home side had started the second half really well but they're really up against it now.
They've seen efforts from George Honeyman and George Saville both hit the woodwork but now find themselves two goals down.
Neil Harris looks like he is preparing to make a substitution...
Hull City 0-0 Bristol City
The home side go to their bench and bring on new signing Liam Millar who arrived from Basel on Friday.
Can the winger help them to find the opener?
Cameron Brannagan (58 mins)
U's lead doubled!
Oxford's Sam Long crosses to Cameron Brannagan who is waiting in all kinds of space inside the box.
The Oxford number eight strikes the ball first time into the back of the net. The three stands of the Kassam are bouncing!

Absolute beauty!
The home side had made a really positive start to this half but it is the away side who double their lead with a superb strike from Giorgi Chakvetadze.
The Georgia international impressed in the Euros this summer and he gets just his second goal for the club with a brilliantly struck free-kick from miles out.
Middlesbrough 1-0 Swansea
Middlesbrough's 1000th ever player Aidan Morris almost marks his debut with a club, but his deflected low cross comes back off the post.
From the resulting corner, Emmanuel Latte Lath is unmarked but off target as he tries to get his second.
Cardiff 0-1 Sunderland
Cardiff will be looking to Aaron Ramsey for a bit of inspiration.
Last season, he only managed 13 games in his homecoming campaign but the former Arsenal player still possesses that little bit of class.
Oxford United 1-0 Norwich City
The hosts come close to doubling their lead just after the restart.
Cameron Brannagan's deflected strike loops onto the bar with Norwich keeper Angus Gunn looking beaten.
Hull City 0-0 Bristol City
The home side had had the better of this match in the first 45 but it is the away side who almost break the deadlock.
Anis Mehmeti's deflected effort loops up and kisses the crossbar on its way over.
Josh Maja (51 mins)
Two goals, two headers and Josh Maja has turned this one around for West Brom.
This one owes a lot to the wing play of Tom Fellows as he skins his man and stands up the ideal cross for any striker to attack.
Maja obliges, outjumping Jimmy Dunne, and the Baggies are bouncing!
Oxford Utd 1-0 Norwich
Peter Rhoades-Brown
Former Oxford and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio Oxford
The Norwich fans have been quiet because Oxford have kept them quiet.
I think they will be quite surprised with how Oxford United have played.
Millwall 0-1 Watford
The home side hit the woodwork for the second time this afternoon.
This time it's midfielder George Saville who sees a header come back off the post.
Willy Gnonto (46 mins)
Willy Gnonto draws Leeds level straight away.
He drives into the box from the left, cuts infield and strikes the ball low into the bottom left-hand side of the net.
John Mousinho's half-time team talk out the window!

BBC Radio 5 Live at the Riverside Stadium
What a lovely moment at half-time.
Tony Mowbray, who had to leave Birmingham City through illness in the summer, is at his beloved Middlesbrough and was presented to the fans at the break.
'He's one of our own' ringing round the Riverside as he says he's doing well and adds that people come up to him on the street with bags of Revels when he's out and about in Boro.
