Nick Evans kicked two penalties to Jimmy Gopperth's one before Wasps grabbed the game's first try as Jake Cooper-Woolley bundled his way over the line. <br /> <br />But the lead was short lived as home fly-half Evans started and finished off a superb move as Harlequins headed into the break 13-11 ahead. <br /> <br />Harlequins moved further ahead shortly after the break as George Lowe went over, with Evans keeping Wasps at bay with a series of penalties. <br /> <br />Daly did touch down with three minutes remaining to bring Wasps to within five points of their hosts, but Harlequins held on for the win. <br /> <br />After some early adventure from Harlequins, Wasps grew into the game and after two lineout successes a powerful rolling maul almost had the visitors over but for a knock on, with referee Luke Pearce going back for a penalty which Gopperth sent over for a sixth-minute lead. <br /> <br />But that advantage was short lived as just moments later Evans split the uprights at the other end of the pitch. <br /> <br />And shortly afterwards the home side were in front as a clever kick through from Lowe left Christian Wade under intense pressure from Marland Yarde and Lowe and Quins forced the penalty which fly-half Evans duly converted. <br /> <br />But this topsy-turvy match swung back in Wasps' favour as prop Cooper-Woolley bundled his way over in the corner on 17 minutes after a strong break from Daly. <br /> <br />Gopperth sent his touchline conversion wide and on 26 minutes Evans showed him how it is done as the Kiwi started and finished a superb try for the home side. <br /> <br />Evans' initial chip over the top put Yarde into space, he found Karl Dickson and the scrum-half's superbly weighted kick was collected by the home side's No.10 who added the extras for a 13-8 lead. <br /> <br />A Gopperth three-pointer reduced the arrears and after Yarde spilled the ball just three metres away from Wasps' tryline, Evans then hit the post with a penalty of his own. <br /> <br />Yarde was a constant threat but he still couldn't find a first-half try as he was hauled down just metres short again, Gopperth missing a penalty at the other end from 30 metres out as the hosts went in at half-time 13-11 ahead. <br /> <br />Harelquins didn't wait long after the restart to get on the scoreboard again as a neat offload from Evans saw Lowe dot down, the Kiwi fly-half adding the extras. <br /> <br />But Gopperth kept Wasps in the game with a penalty right in front of the posts and the visitors were painfully close to crashing over but Ashley Johnson was just short after a break from Rob Miller. <br /> <br />With time ticking down Evans slotted two three-pointers to push the home side 12 points clear. <br /> <br />But Wasps refused to lie down and Wade showed lightning footwork before a short pass inside saw Daly finish from 35m out. <br /> <br />Ruaridh Jackson added the extras and Wasps pushed for another score but Joe Marler secured a turnover at the death and Mike Brown was bundled into touch to bring on the final whistle, much to the home fans' relief. <br />Read more at http://www.premiershiprugby.com/matchcentre/fixtures/36816.php#1YudGMpe4XUBkXgW.99
