Charlie Austin scored a late penalty to earn QPR the points with a hard-fought victory at Huish Park.

The former Burnley frontman converted from the spot 15 minutes from time after he was hauled down in the box by Dan Seaborne.

Harry Redknapp made four changes from the side that drew against Brighton in midweek, with Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Tom Carroll, Armand Traore and Jermaine Jenas coming into the side.

Matt Phillips fired wide in the first half, while at the other end, Rob Green saved from Joel Grant and Liam Davis.

The QPR keeper denied Joe Ralls after the break as Yeovil continued to threaten.

But the visitors snatched the victory on 74 minutes when Austin was fouled in the box.

The striker picked himself up to fire home the penalty kick to win the points and extend their lead at the top.

QPR: Green, Simpson, Dunne, Hill, Assou-Ekotto, Phillips (Kranjcar 68), Carroll, Jenas, Traore (Wright-Phillips 60), O’Neil (Barton 76), Austin.
