Queens Park Rangers marched 10 points clear at the top of the Championship after a 2-1 win at home to 10-man Crystal Palace.
Former Palace boss Neil Warnock's side exploited the inability to win or inactivity by the chasing pack thanks to a double from Heidar Helguson, the second a cool low finish from the spot after Paddy McCarthy was sent off for a foul on Adel Taarabt.
