    The full-time whistle goes at Craven Cottage, and Fulham have absolutely hammered QPR with a 6-0 victory - the first of Martin Jol's reign in the league! A hat-trick from Andy Johnson, and goals from Danny Murphy, Clint Dempsey and Bobby Zamora have made this an incredible day for the Cottagers! Thanks for joining me.
    90+2'
    Faurlin almost refuses to shoot as he wriggles his way through three challenges on the edge of the Fulham box and still manages to lose it.
    90+1'
    Luke Young is penalised for a late challenge on Ruiz, but the referee lets him off a yellow card - presumably through sympathy.
    90'
    Three minutes will be added at the end of this second half with Fulham having enjoyed 62 per cent of the possession.

    Ruiz drags a fierce left-footed shot narrowly wide of the far post after receiving a slick pass from Dempsey - very close!

    Carlos Orlando Sa comes on to replace Moussa Dembele, and rather bizarrely he carries a bottle of isotonic on with him - is he going to play while holding it?
    87'
    Mackie is absolutely furious as he gets through on goal, only to slice the ball wide with Riise putting him off his stride.
    86'
    Faurlin looks to get QPR going once more, but it's very slow possession from the visitors.
    85'
    Hangeland, rather ridiculously, marks Wright-Phillips and not surprisingly wins the header!
    84'
    Zamora applauds Baird after he doesn't quite manage to retrieve a long ball from the defender.
    83'
    Sidwell and Dempsey combine once more, and QPR continue to chase shadows.

    Dickson Etuhu comes on to replace Danny Murphy, who has been absolutely outstanding today!
    81'
    The last time Fulham scored six goals at Craven Cottage was back in 2004 against Norwich - can they make it more?
    80'
    Now Wright-Phillips blazes a wild shot over the crossbar, and this is very poor from QPR.
    79'
    The jeers go up around the ground as Barton has a hugely optimistic shot from range which Schwarzer gathers comfortably.
    77'
    Zamora takes the ball down the right once more, and Fulham surely have more goals in them as they attack relentlessly.

    Bryan Ruiz comes on to replace Andy Johnson, who comes off to a standing ovation which is very much deserved!

    GOAL!!!!! ZAMORA MAKES IT SIX!! Zamora grabs his fifth goal of the season as he drives home an unerring shot into the far corner of the net from Dempsey's through ball!
