Nottingham Forest produced one of their most complete away performances of Sabri Lamouchi’s first season by beating Queens Park Rangers 4–0 at Loftus Road.

Tobias Figueiredo gave Forest the platform after 15 minutes, rising at the far post to head in Joe Lolley’s corner for his first goal for the club. QPR were reduced to ten men after the break when Lee Wallace was sent off for pulling Lolley down, and Forest punished the space late on.

Lewis Grabban made it 2–0 in the 81st minute, before João Carvalho and Alfa Semedo added further goals in the closing stages. The final score reflected Forest’s control and their ruthlessness once the game opened up.

The win lifted Forest to fourth in the Championship and kept their promotion bid looking strong. The season later ended painfully, with Forest missing the play-offs on the final day, but the Loftus Road rout remained one of the clearest signs of what that side could produce when everything clicked.
