Well this wraps things up for the night.

Fulham blaze their way up to 11th in the table with a polished performance that is rightfully being welcomed as their best of the season to date.

Moussa Dembele got the Whites off the the ideal start, netting after just 117 seconds.

Ben Pringle added a fine second from 18 yards and captain Ross McCormack made it 3-0 on 31 minutes, finishing what was a superb team move.

McCormack's fourth came after QPR's leading scorer Charlie Austin limped off with a hamstring injury. It begs the question, just how costly was this defeat for QPR?

As we bid farewell, join us again on Saturday for live text commentary of MK Dons v Derby County (kick-off 12:30 BST).

Fulham captain Ross McCormack, told Sky Sports after scoring twice: "We want to challenge, we have always said that the play-offs are the aim and we are not going to change that. We are just going to go about our business."

Moussa Dembele, Fulham's first goalscorer, told Sky Sports: "I think that was our best performance this season, we kept the clean sheet and scored some goals.

"I'm enjoying having game time and having the manager believe in me."

While we wait for reaction, have a look at tonight's match report from Phil Cartwright here.

It will make for happy reading for Fulham fans, not so much for the QPR faithful.

Will have reaction coming shortly.

Sure to be a happy Fulham voice or two.

And the whistle goes on what has been a magnificent night for Fulham in the west London derby.

Nothing but misery for QPR as they wilted at Craven Cottage. They travelled just a few miles for this match, but there was truly a gulf in class.

Ben Pringle close to making it five, turning to shoot from 18 yards but firing just wide.

Surely this is Fulham's first Championship clean sheet of the season in their grasp now with a minute remaining.

Fulham fans singing their team home on what has been a thoroughly convincing display.

This west London derby has been a one-sided affair, which will come at a cost for QPR with leading scorer Charlie Austin injured in the second half. 

Five added minutes to come.

Almost a fifth goal for Fulham as substitute Kay Voser gets a shot in from the edge of the box, but he puts it well over.

Into the final minutes now, we will bring immediate post-match reaction from this west London derby.

Victory for Fulham tonight will see them move back into the top half of the Championship.

QPR look to slide one place to 10th in the league, with Fulham now just a spot behind.

Cauley Woodrow, the man who had scored with every shot this season before tonight, goes close again.

A great run from James Husband down the left and the ball finds the substitute, who fires low and hard but just wide of the post.

With seven minutes of regular time left, the points are very much staying at Craven Cottage tonight.

Question is, can they hang on for their first clean sheet of the season?

First caution of the night goes to QPR full-back James Perch for his challenge on Ross McCormack.

The Scotland international has been a handful all night. Might as well stop him by foul means.

Kay Voser now comes into the action for Ryan Fredericks and that is all of Fulham's substitutes for the night now.

Another change for Fulham as Moussa Dembele is replaced Cauley Woodrow. Dembele's header put Fulham in front inside two minutes.

And this is just what QPR need, as a remarkable statistic for Woodrow is that he has scored with both of his shots at goal this season. Another touch and we could be looking at 5-0?

And it is that man Ryan Tunnicliffe again who makes QPR work. This time it is a fiercely struck 30-yard effort that Robert Green has to deal with. Just too close to the visiting keeper to be a real worry.

Ryan Tunnicliffe has been immense in midfield.

For all the attacking inputs he has given Fulham tonight, he has been tireless in his defensive duties. The Whites have suffocated QPR in the middle of the pitch and really have this game sewn up.
