Queens Park Rangers 0-3 Burnley: Clarets restore three-point gap at top

Burnley restored their three-point advantage at the top of the Championship with a dominant victory at managerless Queens Park Rangers.

Sheffield United had gone level on points on Saturday but this result was never in doubt after first-half goals from Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Ian Maatsen.

Nathan Tella added a third after the break as Vincent Kompany's men recorded an eighth win in their last 10 league games.

QPR could have had a penalty in the opening seconds, but they were well beaten in the end in their first match since manager Michael Beale took the job at Rangers.
