Dimitrios Goutas and Perry Ng helped Cardiff City move within three points of the play-offs after a 2-1 win against QPR at Loftus Road on New Year's Day.
While the Bluebirds started 2024 on the right foot, QPR have now gone six games in the Championship without a win and sit bottom in the league.
They currently sit 19th in the league, despite winning a 0-0 draw against high-flyer Ipswich last time out.
Both Cardiff goals came from corners, with Goutas heading in Joe Ralls' inswinger after 16 minutes.
Paul Smyth would pull a goal back for the home side at the start of the second half, smashing home a ball from substitute Rayan Kolli from close range.
Yet it was Cardiff who would claim the spoils, with Ng scoring his fourth goal of the season with a header in the 74th minute to give Erol Bulut's side the win.
