Queens Park Rangers 1 : 2 Tottenham Hotspur

Harry Kane revelled in a London derby once more as his two goals gave Tottenham Hotspur a 2-1 Barclays Premier League win at Queens Park Rangers.

In front of England manager Roy Hodgson at Loftus Road, Kane continued a stellar season and moved his tally for the campaign to 16 league goals and 26 in all competitions at club level.

Eight of those have come in his last five Barclays Premier League London derbies, with generous QPR defending lending a hand to Kane's strikes in the 34th and 68th minutes.

Charlie Austin, a fellow striker hoping for England recognition, passed up three clear chances for QPR during the first half of an entertaining encounter before Kane’s goals. Former Spurs midfielder Sandro reduced the deficit with 15 minutes to play, but Chris Ramsey's team, who had a penalty appeal turned down in each half, remain three points from safety with 10 matches remaining.

Rio Ferdinand and Mauricio Isla returned to the QPR starting XI, while Ben Davies replaced Danny Rose at left-back for Tottenham.

QPR striker Bobby Zamora looped a header against the crossbar inside the first minute as his former club made an initially sluggish start. But it did not take long for Spurs to find their rhythm and QPR goalkeeper Rob Green made a point-blank save to deny Kane from Kyle Walker's right-wing cross.

Walker was almost culpable for QPR taking a 20th-minute lead when Austin turned his back-header goalwards, but Hugo Lloris responded with a reaction stop.

Zamora and Austin combined for Matt Phillips to thump wide from inside the area as QPR grew in confidence as an attacking force. Austin came closer still in the 29th minute as he touched the ball beyond the Spurs defence and clattered a left-foot shot against the crossbar.

QPR rued those missed chances as Kane headed in Andros Townsend's floated free-kick, capitalising on disorganised home defending and Green coming out to leave himself stranded.

Isla had penalty claims rejected when he went down under a challenge from Lloris, who saved again from Austin in first-half stoppage time after Green had kept out Walker's deflected drive.

Spurs began the second half brightly, with Christian Eriksen curling a strike against a post and Kane blasting the rebound off target. Townsend passed up a 49th-minute opening when Steven Caulker gave away possession, while Eriksen failed to pick out Nacer Chadli when Spurs took QPR apart on the break.

Direct play up towards Zamora continued to prove fruitful for QPR and the forward drew a sharp near-post save from Lloris in the 57th minute. Zamora's strike partner Austin was an unlikely hero at the other end two minutes later when he cleared Eriksen's shot off the line.

Midway through the second half, Spurs’ pressure told as Kane sprung a poor QPR offside trap and rounded Green to slot home.

Sandro drilled home from just inside the box to set up a grandstand finish, during which Austin led protests for a penalty when Nabil Bentaleb blocked his close-range shot.

Referee Craig Pawson was again unmoved, allowing Mauricio Pochettino's team to make it back-to-back Barclays Premier League wins following their League Cup final loss to Chelsea. The three points returned Spurs to sixth, three points below Manchester United in the final UEFA Champions League place.

QPR head coach Chris Ramsey: "It was like Wednesday's game against Arsenal to a point: we didn't get the rub of the green in the big moments but we have to be capitalising on those moments if we're going to get out of this. Spurs will know they've been in a game and I think they'll be surprised we're in the position that we are after how we played."

Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino: "I'm very proud of our performance. The reaction has been fantastic. It was difficult for us after the defeat to Fiorentina, then a very difficult game against Chelsea, and then to play on Wednesday and Saturday. Now we need to rest and then train very hard to focus on Man Utd and another three points."
