sat round up : Kamie Mackie holds off the challenge of Kyle Naughton
The second half mirrors the first with Spurs bossing the early stages before Rangers get back on an equal footing - here's Kamie Mackie, right, holding the challenge of Kyle Naughton. Neither side can create any clear cut chances and both sides share the spoils with QPR no doubt the happier of the teams and are, for a few hours at least, off the bottom of the table.

sat round up : Sunderland's Sebastian Larsson scores against West Ham

sat round up 2: James McClean scores
McClean got on the scoresheet himself later in the second half when he squeezed the ball home from a tight angle after Stephane Sessegnon miscued his shot. It's an impressive performance by the Black Cats which gives them their first win of 2013. Final score: 3-0 Photograph: Craig Brough/Action Images
sat round up : Dimitar Berbatov takes on the Wigan defence
Fulham v Wigan Athletic Maybe if the Wigan defenders paid a bit less attention to Dimitar Berbatov and more attention to Giorgos Karagounis then they wouldn't find themselves 1-0 down at half-time Photograph: Ian Walton/Getty Images
sat round up 2: Wigan Athletic's Franco Di Santo
Wigan's Franco Di Santo causes a lot of problems for Fulham in the second half, here he puts the ball just wide of the Fulham goal. His eye for goal was a bit keener in the 71st minute when a quickly taken free-kick allowed Di Santo to cut in from the left-wing, run unchallenged to the edge of the penalty area and blast the ball past Schwarzer.

sat round up 2: Romelu Lukaku celebrates

sat round up 2: Pavel Pogrebnyak scores
West Brom looked to be cruising to an easy victory until eight minutes from time when Jimmy Kebe's diving header pulled one back before Adam Le Fondre's penalty drew the home side level with two minutes to go. Then in the last minute Pavel Pogrebnyak pounced to ram the ball home and give Reading a most unlikely victory against the run of play. Final score 3-2 Photograph: Alan Walter/Action Images
sat round up : Stoke City fans hold up a poster
Stoke City v Chelsea You've got to feel a bit sorry for Rafa Benitez, not only does he have to put up with hostility from the Chelsea fans since his appointment, but now he's getting it in the neck from the Stoke City fans too Photograph: Darren Staples/Reuters

sat round up 2: Jonathan Walters scores a second own goal
Then just after the hour mark Walters gets his and Chelsea's second when he got to the ball before Frank Lampard but sent the ball into his own net rather than out for a corner Photograph: Darren Staples/Reuters
sat round up 2: Robert Huth fouls Juan Mata
Juan Mata tumbles in the area after a brush by Robert Huth and the ref points to the spot. Frank Lampard steps up and dispatches it with aplomb Photograph: Martin Rickett/PA
sat round up 2: Eden Hazard celebrates

sat round up 2: Jonathan Walters is dejected
And if Jonathan Walters didn't think his day could get any worse, after being fouled by John Terry in the final minutes, the Stoke striker picks himself up and blasts the resulting penalty against the bar. Final score 0-4 Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images
sat round up 2: Rickie Lambert celebrates scoring
Aston Villa v Southampton After Jay Rodriguez went down in the area without contact from Enda Stevens, Rickie Lambert stepped up to sweep the ball home from the penalty spot, much to the annoyance of the Villa fans, players and staff Photograph: Clive Mason/Getty Images
sat round up : Charles N'Zogbia skips past Nathaniel Clyne
Villa rallied in the second half, here Charles N'Zogbia bamboozles Nathaniel Clyne in the search for an equaliser, but the visitors held out for a victory that saw the Saints leapfrog Villa and move clear of the drop zone. Final score 0-1 Photograph: Andrew Boyers/Action Images
sat round up : Phil Neville and Ki Sung-Yueng
Everton v Swansea City Everton's Phil Neville, right, and Ki Sung-Yueng go up for a header. Spain's boss Vicente Del Bosque amongst the crowd at Goodison, wonder if he's come to check out Michu? Photograph: Paul Ellis/AFP/Getty Images
sat round up 2: Nikica Jelavic
Despite creating a number of chances, here unmarked Nikica Jelavic is unable to convert a free header, the Toffees were unable to notch for the first time in 19 league games. The dropped points mean Everton have their work cut out if they are are secure a Champions League spot. Final score 0-0 Photograph: Ed Sykes/Action Images
sat round up : Robert Snodgrass and Fabricio Coloccini
Norwich City v Newcastle United Robert Snodgrass finds out the hard way that no-one gets past Fabricio Coloccini. The match at Carrow Road was a rather uninspiring affair though the draw checked a run of defeats suffered by both camps. Final score 0-0 Photograph: Jamie McDonald/Getty Images
