    That was as bad as it gets defensively from QPR. Three errors in a row and the ball is in the net. Game over.

    What a terrible goal to concede. Dear oh dear!

    It starts with Rob Green fluffing a clearance, shanking it no more than 20 yards out. Richard Dunne then miscontrols his clearance and Everton have the ball on the edge of the box. They work it out to the right, Aiden McGeady crosses in and Steven Naismith heads back across goal. QPR centre-halves Nedum Onuoha and Dunne both have a swing at it on the line but the ball skims into the net.

    Richard Dunne on the swing! Over the bar. As the colleague to my left points out, if that was towards his own net he would have buried it!

    Phil Jagielka loses the ball on the halfway line, problems here! Leroy Fer nips in but fair play to Sylvain Distin as he covers well to clear his lines. Don't lose it there Phil!

  5. NONSENSE ALERTpublished at 21:07 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    Apologies, this will teach me to steal stats from the TV. QPR have come from two goals behind before - they beat Liverpool 3-2 in 2012, as several of you have pointed out. My fault. But actually the other lot on TV's fault really...

    QPR must make a fast start you feel. Joey Barton does well down the left but they then lose the ball and Everton break. Kevin Mirallas peels into the box, he goes down as Richard Dunne steps across but that's never been a penalty. As you were.

  7. KICK-OFFpublished at 21:02 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    No changes at the break. Everton kick us off.

    And Everton have never lost when leading by two goals at half-time in the Premier League. I'm not going to lie to you QPR fans, it doesn't look good.

    I still think there is more to come from Glenn Hoddle, on the music front, by the way. Diamond Lights II. Get on it.

    QPR have never come from two goals down to get a point in the Premier League. Shake hands and call it a night then lads. Or will Harry Redknapp's men pull off one of the great comebacks?

    Bobby Zamora? Niko Kranjcar? Shauny Wright-Phillips?

    The three attacking options available for Harry Redknapp tonight. Get them all on.

    Everton are above city rivals Liverpool at the moment as a result of those two first-half goals. They will hope to get Romelu Lukaku involved more after the break though, the big man only had 15 touches in the first 45 minutes. The fewest of any Everton player.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:48 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    Applause all around at Goodison Park now as the players come off the field. A flat opening half hour but two goals - the first a brilliant effort - has at least lifted the crowd.

    "This has been much better from Everton in the last 15 minutes. They have played up to the front man a lot more and with much more intensity and they have got runners in behind."

  15. CLOSE!published at 20:45 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    A third goal before the break would absolutely end this one and Aiden McGeady is a foot away from finding the far corner. He cuts on to his left foot, curls one nicely from the edge of the box but it spins just past the corner.

    Two deflections, two goals! Kevin Mirallas will claim it but his free-kick takes a huge deflection off Eduardo Vargas, who attempts to block it with his head but only succeeds in sending the ball to Rob Green's right, with the keeper committed the other way.

    The free-kick was struck well by the Belgian but that is a massive stroke of luck for the home side.

    QPR have only had 35% of possession but there's been nothing in the game to be honest. Both sides looked pretty well matched until Ross Barkley rooted around in the top drawer and pulled out a classic.
