Charlie Austin struck his first Premier League hat
trick as QPR came from behind to beat West
Brom 3-2 at Loftus Road on Saturday.
Austin - the top English scorer in the division -
headed home the winning goal in the 87th minut
to complete a stunning comeback for Harry
Redknapp's side - who move out of the bottom
three.
Joleon Lescott and Silvestre Varela each struck
their first goals for Albion as the visitors raced
into a dominant lead inside the opening 20
minutes.
Austin pulled one back before the break with an
emphatic penalty, and he levelled the scores with
a neat finish early in the second half.
And with time running out, Austin made no
mistake from Joey Barton's corner to take his
tally for the season to 11 - bettered only by Dieg
Costa and Sergio Aguero.
Victory moves QPR out of the relegation zone at
the expense of Burnley - who lost 2-1 at
Tottenham - and level on 17 points with 14th-
placed Albion.
