Wolverhampton - Queens Park Rangers moved into the top half of the table as Neil Warnock's new-look team recorded an impressive 3-0 win over Wolves at Molineux on Saturday.
Wolves never recovered after a two-goal blitz by the Hoops in the opening 10 minutes, captain Joey Barton opening his account for the club in the eighth minute before Alejandro Faurlin added a second.
A comprehensive win for the Londoners was completed on 87 minutes; substitute DJ Campbell scoring his first goal for the club after converting Armand Traore's pass.
It was QPR's second away win of the season following their 1-0 victory at Everton last month, and lifted Warnock's side to ninth.
A mood of optimism has swept over QPR since they were taken over by Malaysian tycoon Tony Fernandes last month, a buyout which led to the arrival of several proven Premier League performers as the transfer window closed.
QPR new boys Barton and Shaun Wright-Phillips both caused problems for Wolves, with the former Manchester City team-mates linking to great effect in midfield for the visitors.
Their partnership reaped swift reward when Wright-Phillips cut back to Barton, who slotted past Wayne Hennessey to make it 1-0.
Two minutes later QPR doubled their lead, Faurlin chesting down a failed clearance on the edge of the box and blasting home.
Wolves rallied and a shot from Karl Henry clipped the outside of Paddy Kenny's upright, but the away team were soon back on the front foot, and their fluid midfield play was a constant menace for Mick McCarthy's men.
The excellent Wright-Phillips was denied on 78 minutes when his shot hit the post, but QPR wrapped up the win three minutes from time when Campbell slotted home Traore's low cross.
