The midfielder cleverly flicked on Massimo Luongo’s cross from close range to beat goalkeeper Francisco Casilla to break the deadlock.
The visitors enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and chances at goal, but an impressive display from QPR shot-stopper Joe Lumley kept his side ahead amid intense pressure late on.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men are now two points adrift of Norwich City, with QPR bringing an end to a dismal seven-game losing streak.
