Everton kept on for a draw at QPR despite Steven Pienaar's second half termination at Loftus Road on Sunday. London:A Everton held on for a draw at QPR despite Steven Pienaar's minute half termination at Loftus Road on Sunday. South African midfielder Pienaar was sent off for an additional scheduling in the 61st second, but struggling QPR were unable to make use as Everton cemented their position in the Premier League's top four. David Moyes' part had earlier in the day restored from Junior Hoilett's early hit to equalise when a Sylvain Distin header deflected in off QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar's back for an own goal. Everton are now one point free from fifth put Tottenham after their fifth league sport without beat, while QPR, however without a league get this season, stay bottom of the table. "I think sending a person down underneath the conditions is a ludicrous decision, I truly do," Moyes said. "The referee must have known he was on a yellow card. It destroyed our opportunity to go and win three points but the people did well to hold to get some thing out from the game." QPR manager Mark Hughes added: "The little details are restricting us at the moment, but over all our performances have now been great. "I thought a few of our play was excellent. It is a good point that offers confidence to us to go on and create from here." The build-up to the fit was centered with speculation as to which participants might boycott carrying t-shirts in the warm-up supporting the anti-racism 'Kick it Out' plan. Anton Ferdinand and QPR team-mates Shaun Wright-Phillips and Hoilett elected to not wear the clothing, following the position taken by Ferdinand's brother Rio prior to Manchester United's sport against Stoke on Saturday. Hughes' team didn't look distracted by the dispute while they took the lead in the 2nd second. Possession was lost by everton captain Phil Neville to Hoilett and the former Blackburn winger dismissed in a strong shot that defeat Tim Howard after taking a deflection off Leighton Baines. But Everton equalised in fortuitous circumstances in the 33rd minute. Pienaar whipped in a deep free-kick that Distin headed onto a post and, with Cesar prone on the pitch after attempting a preserve, the ball rebounded, struck the Brazilian on the back and cannoned in to the net. Referee Jonathan Moss waved absent Everton striker Nikica Jelavic's appeals for a fee after he transpired carrying out a Stephane Mbia concern late in the first half, while Toffees defender Phil Jagielka struck the crossbar from a corner ahead of the break. Everton's hopes of victory experienced an important setback when Pienaar received his second booking in rapid succession. Pienaar had recently been booked for one crazy lunge, but his second yellow card was somewhat severe as minimal contact was made by him on Jose Bosingwa. It took a wonderful save from Cesar to keep out a Jagielka header immediately after, but QPR concluded the stronger and Howard must be alert to push away a Hoillet reach. QPR appealed in vain for a charge when Seamus Coleman appeared to journey Hoilett, who then a goalbound energy saved by Howard in a finish.
