Jefferson Montero’s first goal for Albion since arriving on loan from Swansea opened the scoring in the fifth minute.
Luke Freeman’s strike drew the hosts level at Loftus Road 10 minutes before half-time when he converted a Nahki Wells pass.
Jacob Murphy restored Albion’s lead just after the hour mark when he capitalised on a terrible mistake by Joel Lynch.

West Brom move within one point of second-placed Sheffield United and Leeds in third, and three of Championship leaders Norwich.
QPR have lost six consecutive league games as they slip dangerously close to the relegation battle.
Murray Kinsella, Andy Dunne and Gavan Casey break down Ireland’s dogged win against Scotland in Murrayfield, and look at the room for improvement, in the latest episode of The42 Rugby Weekly.
