Fulham hold on

          

Adel Taarabt pulled one back in the first half and Loic Remy added a second, moments after seeing a penalty saved, before Fulham lost Steve Sidwell to a red card for a late foul on Armand Traore.Christopher Samba gifted Fulham an eighth-minute penalty by upending Ashkan Dejagah and Berbatov tucked away the spot-kick with customary sang-froid.Cesar had to prevent Jose Bosingwa putting through his own goal in 35th minute after an exquisite touch and cross from Berbatov but Hill did not have such a fortunate escape six minutes later.QPR could not find an equaliser however, and remain second from bottom in the table ahead of a crucial game at home to fourth-bottom Wigan Athletic on Sunday.It was the fourth consecutive league game in which the Bulgarian had scored, and in the 22nd minute he added a second.QPR's pressing need for goals was evident in manager Harry Redknapp's decision to hand erratic Moroccan playmaker Taarabt his first league start since February 23.Again, Samba was at fault, dawdling in possession and allowing Berbatov to nip in and prod the ball beneath the exposed Julio Cesar.Fulham were unchanged from the team that won 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur in their last outing and although they quickly hit their stride, they were abetted by some appalling defending from the visitors.
