Hull remain deep in trouble after loss to QPR

Hull City remain deep in relegation trouble after losing at home to in-form Queens Park Rangers in the Championship.

Second-half goals from Kenneth Paal and Koki Saito earned Marti Cifuentes' side a fourth consecutive league victory.

Joe Gelhardt's excellent left-footed strike in his 100th senior career appearance proved mere consolation for the hosts, who will drop into the bottom three if Portsmouth avoid defeat by Stoke on Wednesday.

The R's, however, continue to look upwards and climb up to ninth, now just four points outside of the play-off positions.
