27'
All five of the goals Tottenham have conceded so far this season in the Premier League have come in the second half.
26'
The Tottenham fans respond by turning up the volume on their chants, and keep going when their team win the ball back.
25'
This is a good spell of possession for QPR, who do look comfortable when they have the ball.
24'
Yet another QPR corner. This time it's an outswinger from Shaun Wright-Phillips which Nelsen heads off target.
22'
Since the start of last season, referee Phil Dowd has awarded the joint-most penalties of any official in the top flight (13 along with Mike Dean).
21'
Dyer looks up and makes the pass forward for Hoilett, who is clearly offside.
20'
Bale nudges the ball sideways for Vertonghen to strike, but the shot canons off the wall.
19'
Great skill from Dembele now and he is brought down by Alejandro Faurlin. Spurs have a free-kick in a promising area here. Bale and Vertonghen lurking around the dead ball...
18'
Neat football from Walker as he tries to work some space for a cross off Park, but Onuoha is on hand to help out his team-mate.
17'
Lennong drops the shoulder as he ghosts past Granero on the wing. The referee blows for the foul but keeps his cards in his pocket on this occasion.
16'
Spurs have a corner now. Bale whips it to the far post where Dyer gets it clear. Interesting that Bale is taking the corners even when they are on the other side of the pitch.
15'
The QPR corner bounces right in the middle of the six-yard area but somehow no one gets a touch on it.
14'

Hoilett turns and takes the ball on his chest inside the box and unleashes a well struck volley that Friedel saves well!
13'
Jan Vertonghen heads Granero's corner away and Spurs make hard work of clearing the danger.
12'
This is Junior Hoilett's sixth career game against Spurs. He's lost all of the previous five. Still, he forces Walker into conceding a corner now.
11'
Dembele gets away from Esteban Granero with a nice bit of skill and is fouled as he moves up the field. He takes the free-kick quickly and play moves across to Walker, whose floated cross goes harmlessly out of play.
10'
Clint Dempsey, Dembele and sigurdsson all involved before to latter zips a lovely ball to the feet of Defoe on the edge of the box. The striker shoots, as he always does, but this effort is wide of the near post.
9'
Bale takes the corner, which is headed away by former Spurs defender Ryan Nelsen.
8'
Gareth Bale sends a lovely diagonal pass across to Aaron Lennon. The cross is blocked by Nedum Onuoha for a corner.
7'
Moussa Dembele pings the ball across the pitch to Kyle Walker. Spurs setting the tone in the first few minutes of this derby.
6'
Mark Hughes has enjoyed just two wins in 14 Premier League games as a coach against Tottenham (W2 D5 L7), but one of those wins was his only outing as QPR’s manager against Spurs back in April this year.
