Joey Barton has relinquished penalty-taking duties at Queens Park Rangers, allowing striker Charlie Austin to take over from 12 yards.

Summer signing Austin has scored a penalty in each of the last two games against Yeovil and Middlesbrough and Barton, who takes the majority of the club's set pieces, told the club website that he is now happy to let the 24-year-old have the role.

"As long as he keeps taking them and scoring them, which I think he's more than capable of doing," said Barton. "I don't care who scores as long as we win football matches."
