Nottingham Forest defeated QPR 4-0 at Loftus Road last night to go fourth in the Sky Bet Championship.
The Reds won the day thanks to strikes from Tobias Figueiredo, Lewis Grabban, Joao Carvalho and Alfa Semedo.
Forest played the majority of the second half against 10-men. Lee Wallace was sent off just after half-time for denying Joe Lolley an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

It was the return to form of Carvalho that caught the eye among Forest supporters.
On a night of several positives, the return to form of the Portuguese maestro stood out.
The 22-year-old played for just over half-an-hour of the contest and looked to be edging back towards his best form.
His goal was a majestic run, which involved nutmegging a defender and then finishing beyond Joe Lumle with the outside of his right boot.
The club’s record signing has struggled for form this season. He missed the whole of pre-season having been injured in the club’s opening friendly game against Alfreton Town.
On his day he is one of the league’s best players technically and if Forest can get him back fully fit and firing it would bode well moving forward.
After such an impressive goal, Twitter exploded and here is what some Forest fans were saying in response to his first league goal of the season:
