Everton recoil at QPR thrills Martinez

Roberto Martinez was over the moon after his Everton side produced a quick response to their Europa League disappointment.

?The Toffees defeated QPR 2-1 at Loftus Road on Sunday to kick nine points clear of the relegation zone while atoning for their 5-2 disaster at the hands of Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday night.

?"It was an outstanding performance," Martinez told Sky Sports.

?"We had to adapt to the type of game it was going to be coming off the back of Europe and this season we have found it difficult to be able to get wins.

?"I have seen QPR at home this season and they have been very unfortunate. Against Arsenal and Spurs they created a lot of chances and the result could have gone either way.

?"But apart from the corner we defended really well, at times we had to be very clever but then we scored two outstanding goals from open play with a lot of quality."

?Goals from Seamus Coleman and Aaron Lennon either side of Eduardo Vargas' equaliser gave Everton their second league win in a row which saw them climb to 13th on the table.?
