Palace go down at QPR

March 12 2011

Ten man Crystal Palace crashed to a 2-1 defeat away to Championship leaders QPR.

Palace started the match well but went a goal down in the 19th minute as Adel Taarabt's cross-cum-shot was turned in by Heidar Helguson.

Visiting keeper Julian Speroni made an excellent stop to deny Taarabt before Palace got on level terms four minutes before the interval. Darren Ambrose found time and space to cross for James Vaughan to score.

The Eagles found themselves a man light after Paddy McCarthy hauled down the dangerous Taarabt in the penalty area eight minutes after the break and was sent off. Helguson converted the spot kick to make it 2-1 to Neil Warnock's side.

Helguson hit the post in the 81st minute, while Palace had shouts for a penalty turned down when Clint Hill looked like he fouled Neil Danns in the box.

The result leaves Palace four points and one place above the relegation zone.

QPR: Kenny, Orr, Hall, Gorkss, Hill, Faurlin, Derry, Smith (Ephraim 86), Taarabt (Buzsaky 89), Routledge, Helguson.

Not Used: Cerny, Connolly, Hulse, Miller, Chimbonda.

Palace: Speroni, Clyne, McCarthy, Gardner, Moxey, Ambrose, Wright (Zaha 75), Dikgacoi, Danns, Iversen (Davis 55), Vaughan (Easter 62).

Not Used: Price, Scannell, Counago, Agustien.
