Half-Time Report: Everton hold comfortable lead at the break

Everton are in command of their FA Cup clash with Queens Park Rangers as goals from Ross Barkley and Nikica Jelavic hand them a two-goal lead at the break.

Goals from Ross Barkley and Nikica Jelavic have handed Everton a 2-0 half-time lead in their FA Cup clash with Queens Park Rangers.

The visitors started the game on the front foot and Gary O'Neil threatened early on as he fired an effort from about 20 yards at goal, but his shot went just wide of the target.

Everton almost took the lead when Jelavic found space inside the area and drilled a low shot towards the near post, but Rangers keeper Julio Cesar got down to his right to make the save.

The Toffees took the lead in the 34th minute when Barkley gathered the ball on the left, cut inside onto his right foot and fired the ball into the bottom corner of the net, beating the outstretched hand of Cesar.

Just before the break Everton doubled their advantage as Jelavic robbed Karl Henry of the ball and ran into the box to slot an effort past Cesar into the net.
