Queens Park Rangers are still looking for their first league win of the season after drawing 2-2 with Wigan this afternoon.

The hosts took the lead after 20 minutes when James McCarthy fired a fine volley past the outstretched hands of former England number one Rob Green.

QPR were only behind for a matter of minutes, however, as Adel Taarabt's corner found Ryan Nelson, who powered his header past Ali Al-Habsi.

Wigan almost hit back just as quickly after a defensive mix-up presented Franco Di Santo with a great chance to restore his side's lead, but the striker missed the target from point-blank range.

Green was called into action to deny the hosts five minutes into the second half when Stephane M'Bia was caught in possession, resulting in a close-range chance for McCarthy but the QPR keeper was equal to it.

QPR took the lead with 20 minutes remaining when Djibril Cisse ended a quick counter-attack with a first-time left-footed finish.

This lead didn't last long either, however, as poor marking allowed McCarthy to slot home from close range just two minutes later.

Green was forced into making a fine save late on to deny Wigan claiming all three points as QPR remain bottom of the table.
