Wycombe's promotion push was dented after a double sending-off on the stroke of half-time proved costly as they lost 4-3 at QPR.

A foul by Jason Cousins on Kevin Gallen led to a penalty being awarded and in the ensuing chaos Jermaine McSporran and Danny Senda were dismissed for violent conduct.

Chairboys goalkeeper Martin Taylor saved Andy Thomson's penalty but Lawrie Sanchez's men were still unable to avoid defeat.

Thomson had opened the scoring for Rangers after 26 minutes when he rammed home the rebound after Karl Connolly's shot had been parried by Taylor.

But the visitors levelled within three minutes when Terrell Forbes fouled Andy Rammell.

Steve Brown converted the resulting penalty.

Kevin Gallen and Connolly got on the scoresheet to give QPR a two-goal cushion after the break.

Gallen fired home after a Forbes cross while Connolly's fantastic volley on the hour-mark was the best goal of the game.

Dannie Bulman pulled one back from a free-kick after 64 minutes before Gavin Peacock added a fourth for the hosts.

Rammell's late penalty was not enough for the visitors.
