Everton striker Jelavic delighted with Cup brace

Everton striker Nikica Jelavic was delighted with his brace in their FA Cup win over QPR.

Jelavic could've had a hat-trick but fluffed his spotkick.

He told evertontv: "After a while I have played 90 minutes so I enjoyed every minute on the pitch. I was unlucky to score a hat-trick but I'm happy with two as well.

"The first one I just smashed it wide of the keeper and for the second one Bryan made a good cross and I was in the right place.

"I just thought I was going to chip it [the penalty] whatever happens. There was punishment in the end because I missed it.

"It's not the only game. There are plenty more and I hope I can score a hat-trick in another game."
