Charlie Austin missed a first-half penalty as Queens Park Rangers remained in the grasp of relegation from the Premier League following a stalemate at home to London rivals West Ham on Saturday.
.
Both sides had chances to win at Loftus Road but the best fell to QPR striker Austin after James Collins handled the ball in the box but his spot-kick was blocked by the legs of Hammers goalkeeper Adrian, who made several key saves.
.
QPR defender Richard Dunne thought he had scored in the second half but his header was ruled out for a foul on Adrian and second-bottom Rangers were left five points from safety with only four league games remaining.
.
QPR have now won just once in nine games since Chris Ramsey was appointed manager until the end of the season back in February following the resignation of veteran boss Harry Redknapp.
.
And this result would have done little for the peace of mind of West Ham manager Sam Allardyce, whose future has been the subject of intense speculation, given the Hammers have won just twice in the league in 2015.
