Osman does well to hold the ball up on the edge of the box before playing it out wide to Neville. The Everton captain's low cross is too close to Kenny who pounces on it.

The stats say that Everton have had 18 shots on goal, and six of them on target, but they have still not been able to make the breakthrough.

There is plenty of frustration creeping into Everton now as QPR continue to, for the most part, hold them at bay.
84'
Baines weaves his way inside as he gets on to his left foot and aims a low cross to Fellaini at the near post. Again, Kenny is on hand to grab the ball and keep hold of it.

Another shot from Barkley and this time he catches his strike really well, but his low fizzer is too close to Kenny who makes the save.

Osman goes into the referee's book for a late tackle on Ephraim.

This is where Shaun Derry comes into his own. The veteran midfielder is so adept at being in the right place to snuff out any nascent attacks through the middle of the park.
