Josh Maja grabbed an opening day hat-trick as West Bromwich Albion got their season off to the best possible start against Queens Park Rangers.
Queens Park Rangers had taken the lead after 16 minutes but were punished for some loose defending by Maja, who struck three times in 39 minutes either side of half-time.It had been honours even at the end of a decent first half in which the visitors dominated possession but QPR carved more clear cut chances.
Six minutes after the break Maja beat last season's goal tally with a second header, Tom Fellows standing up a cross after some lovely work on the right byeline which the striker met to take the lead. West Brom have won 42% of their away league games against QPR – of sides they’ve faced at least 20 times on the road in the Football League, only against Coventry do they have a higher win rate .
