QPR condemned rock-bottom Rotherham to a seventh straight defeat with a 5-1 win at Loftus Road.
Matt Smith's early goal was cancelled out by Rotherham's Joe Newell, but Luke Freeman, Yeni Ngbakoto's 49th-minute penalty - for Aymen Belaid's foul on Smith - Massimo Luongo's header and Nedum Onuoha's late effort ensured another miserable afternoon for the visitors.
In a lunchtime kick-off at the City Ground, Daniel Pinillos' stoppage-time header clinched Nottingham Forest a 2-2 draw against East Midlands rivals Derby.
Pinillos struck in the fourth minute of time added on to ensure both Forest boss Mark Warburton and Derby counterpart Gary Rowett, both appointed by their respective clubs on Tuesday, took a point from their first game in charge.
