What a difference a week makes for QPR. After conceding 4 last weekend at home to Bolton Wanderers, they go away to Goodison and not only keep a clean sheet, but also nick a goal in a fully deserved 1-0 win. Everton brought on their big guns in Marouane Fellaini and Louis Saha, but couldn’t find a way past a resolute QPR defence. In all fairness, though, this wasn’t a back to the wall job for QPR: Paddy Kenny made very few saves in the second half.
Everton v QPR: Hoops Hold On, Win 1-0
Everton might be aggrieved, given that they dominated possession, but their two best chances came from Leighton Baines’ free kick hitting the bar and youngster Ross Barkley’s left footed shot. It’s never good to lose at home to a promoted side, but when that side lost 4-0 at home the previous week and when your chairman comes out and says there is no money to spend, things looks pretty dire at Goodison right now. No wonder the fans were frustrated, and there was heavy booing at full time, and sporadically throughout the second half, especially when David Moyes brought off Jermaine Beckford for Fellaini, before bringing off Heitinga for Saha.
Good news for QPR though: Their first win in the Premier League in over a decade.
