The front row of the QPR directors box had hands to heads to protect against the spring sun - but poor Chris Ramsey was left wringing his after his side lost 2-1.
It was the second such defeat to a north London side inside four days for the Rs coach, but there were nearly moments and a debut goal for Sandro, playing against his old club.
Harry Kane scored twice to underline his credentials to watching England boss Roy Hodgson, and as Ramsey added: "In the last two games had we scored first or taken our chances, we might have nicked at least two points.
"Tottenham and Arsenal will know they've been in a game and wonder why we're in the position we are."
