QPR moved up to sixth place in the Championship table after a tale of two penalties in an entertaining draw at Loftus Road.

Rangers dominated the London derby, but the Eagles went away with a point after Darren Ambrose's second-half penalty cancelled out Akos Buzsaky's 19th-minute spot-kick.

Buzsaky calmly netted after Danny Butterfield felled the impressive Adel Taarabt, while Ambrose struck on 62 after Fitz Hall had fouled Freddie Sears.

Wayne Routledge spurned a great chance to double the Rs' lead just before the interval, while Julian Speroni also made some superb saves for Palace.

Alejandro Faurlin, Buzsaky and Rowan Vine were all denied by Speroni and Clint Hill cleared off the line when Taarabt did manage to evade the keeper.

Stern John missed a gilt-edged first-half chance for the Eagles before hitting a post after the break and Neil Danns and substitutes Alan Lee and Lee Hills all went close for the visitors late on.
