Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink admitted QPR's 2-1 win over Fulham was the perfect tonic after a tough week in which he feels he has been "fighting everybody".

The QPR manager watched his side win at Craven Cottage for the first time since 1980. It came in a week where the Dutchman had been caught up in the Daily Telegraph's investigation into alleged corruption in football.

QPR won it via Idrissa Sylla's 87th-minute header in a west London derby in which near neighbours Fulham paid the price for missing two penalties - including after a stoppage-time award Hasselbaink labelled "ridiculous".

"It's been a very difficult few days, I must say," said Hasselbaink. "My lawyers are waiting for the transcripts to help with the investigation of the club. We want a result as quickly as possible.

"But I must say that the support that I've had from the club, from family, from friends, from people around me has been immense. I have to thank them for that.

"Also the players, and the support of them. In the last couple of days we have been able to concentrate on the game and that has been a good outlet.

"I've not seen the first penalty, if it was a tangle or a pull. But then in the second half, that penalty in the last couple of minutes is just ridiculous. It's just ridiculous. The player (Nedum Onuoha) did not even touch (Jozabed), not even close.

"So at the moment, it feels like I'm fighting everybody."
