QPR run riot in friendly

Winger Hogan Ephraim was the central figure as QPR began their Premier League preparations with a 13-0 rout of Tavistock last night.

Ephraim scored the opening goal, provided the pinpoint through-ball which created the second for Tommy Smith and then made it 3-0 after exchanging passes with Patrick Agyemang.

Agyemang made it 4-0 just before the interval and a Tavistock own goal followed before Ephraim completed his hat-trick.

That sparked a similarly one-sided second half as the Cornish amateurs crumbled, defenders Danny Shittu and Matt Connolly joining Petter Vaagan Moen among a hail of goalscorers.
