Sky Bet Championship leaders Burnley beat managerless QPR 3-0 at Loftus Road to re-establish a three-point lead at the top.Johann Berg Gudmundsson opened the scoring in the 19th minute before on-loan Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen doubled the Clarets' lead in first-half stoppage time.And Nathan Tella’s 71st-minute goal, after a mistake by Dundalk man Jimmy Dunne, sealed a resounding victory for Burnley and added to their opponents’ woes in the wake of Michael Beale’s departure.Promotion-chasing Watford had to be content with a point from a goalless draw at home to a Hull side featuring former Cork City defender Sean McLoughlin.Slaven Bilic's side would have gone third had they won but moved fifth instead, while the Tigers leapfrogged Wigan and are now two points clear of third-bottom West Brom.Both sides had chances to win it but it was certainly no classic at Vicarage Road.
