Evangelos Marinakis watches on as Sabri Lamouchi hails 'great performance' from Nottingham Forest at QPR

Sabri Lamouchi hailed 'a great performance' from his Nottingham Forest players as they thrashed 10-man QPR 4-0 in front of watching owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Tobias Figueiredo opened the scoring after 15 minutes before the hosts had Lee Wallace sent off early in the second half.

Lewis Grabban, Joao Carvalho and Alfa Semedo all scored in the last 10 minutes to lift Forest up to fourth in the Championship.

"The players respected the plan and of course, when you score first it is easier," Lamouchi said.

"We played a great game. With one player more it was more difficult for them. Congratulations to the players.

"They respected the opponents and they respected the game. They tried to score the second one and the third one.

"I think it's the first time we scored four goals. It's another clean sheet and another away game tonight.

"Four points from two away games, we keep working. It's very good."

Forest started well and produced an accomplished away performance after going ahead with Brice Samba again on form as the Reds recorded their fifth away win of the season.

"The plan was to start this way - to respect them. They play attractive football, make a lot of chances," the Reds boss said.

"Not tonight. Brice Samba made one or two great, lovely saves. We scored first and we kept ahead to the break.

"We made some corrections at the break. Not too much because the first half was good.

"The second goal was really important. With one more player we can defend and wait.

"We play offensively and quickly. It was a great result and a great performance."
