Welcome to live text commentary on the Premier League clash between QPR and Manchester City at Loftus Road.

There goes the final whistle! Three points for Manchester City. QPR were superb, but City claim the victory. They move five points clear of Manchester United at the top of the Premier League.

Clint Hill replaces Traore for QPR.

Three minutes of time to be added on.

Balotelli goes for goal from 45 yards out. Well wide of goal. Almost time up at Loftus Road.

City now with three at the back. Has been an impressive match, but QPR probably unfortunate not to take a draw.

Kolo Toure on for Dzeko as City try to see this one out.

Helguson chips a ball across the park. Nobody in there for the home side. Time running out for City.

Smith tries to play in Wright-Phillips, but just overcooks the pass. Ball runs out of play. Goalkick to City to be hammered up the park by Hart.

Kolarov smashes the ball almost out of the ground with a clearance. City will be five points clear with this win.

Change then for QPR as Mackie departs to be replaced by Tommy Smith.

So close to the equaliser for QPR as Helguson sees a header hit off the bar and bounce to safety. That would have been 3-3. Savic not enjoying the physical challenge one little bit.

Barton picks up a yellow card himself for a late tackle on Silva. Lucky to avoid a red card for that one.

Young with the cross into the area from out wide, but an easy take for Hart in the City goal.

Silva looking at all the options. Drills a shot wide from an acute angle. Worth the trouble when you are as talented as him.

A dive by Balotelli, and he is booked for that as he hurdles the challenge of Young before going to ground.

Bothroyd goes off to be replaced by Jason Puncheon.

QPR set to make a change or two surely. Has been a massive effort from them.

Barry is off and Mario Balotelli is on for the away side. Not a bad change to make.

QPR pay the price for dropping off the visitors as they fall behind. Can't afford to give a side like City so much space.

GOAL! Yaya Toure rises to head home from Kolarov's header. No chance for Kenny. City back in front.
