Robert Green blocked a Daley Blind drive and Falcao latched onto the rebound only to see the QPR keeper deny the hosts for a second time.
The 28-year-old, who had already netted twice for Monaco this season before heading to England on transfer deadline day, said: "I want to say thank you to the fans. I enjoyed the welcome a lot. It was fantastic.
"I almost scored. The goalkeeper was good. I hope to score the next game.
