Mark Hughes: 'QPR deserved to win'

Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes has claimed that his side deserved more than a point after their 1-1 draw with Everton at Loftus Road.

Royston Drenthe's effort had given the visitors the lead, but Bobby Zamora's finish earned the R's a point.

"I thought we were excellent," Hughes told the club's official website. "For long periods we were in the ascendancy and we probably deserved to get more than a point out of the game - that's the only disappointment today.

"In terms of application and affecting the game, I was delighted with what we did today. We really forced the initiative and I was really pleased with what we produced.

"We'll take a lot of confidence from today's performance."

Rangers have moved up one place to 16th in the Premier League table with the draw.
