       He was rushed to hospital with a serious head injury and remains in a life-threatening condition.

       His family have been informed and there have been no arrests.

       The Met believe the man was assaulted but are not sure whether he was caught up in "disorder" after the game.

       Queens Park Rangers, who won last night's game 2-0, and Luton Town have a longstanding rivalry.

       Supporters complained about bottles being chucked at rival fans as they left Loftus Road.

       One tweeted: "If I'd known the rivalry between QPR and Luton was that intense I would not have gone last night.
