History wasn't made at Tynecastle Park, as it's far too early for such achievements. This game highlighted is that Heart of Midlothian have a genuine credible shot of breaking Scottish football's four decade-long dominance by two. That advantage stands at eight points for the team over Celtic, whom they comfortably swatted aside. Try to chase them down.
A brief but pivotal phase made the difference, once the initial exchanges that was fiercely fought. The striking aspect after Hearts surged 3-1 in front was how stress-free the remainder of the game was for the Tynecastle team. The Greek winger netted the second goal, cutting in from the left before thumping a right-footed shot past the motionless the Celtic keeper. Delight increased in the stands, the Celtic defender upending Braga for a foul that the captain slotted home. Rodgers cut such a disconsolate figure; he hardly has his troubles to seek.
The crowd erupted after Kyziridis (second right) scores to make it 2-1 against the opposition.
The away side responded positively from Hearts’ rapid start. The defender, who had a difficult day, scored an own goal due to panic when trying to deal with a ball into the box. The Hoops worked their way into the game, the captain Callum McGregor, scoring a Tierney cutback for 1-1.
The shot-stopper Alexander Schwolow, who had made a brilliant stop from Benjamin Nygren in the first half, parried an Engels shot which deflected off Magnússon. Craig Halkett stopped a Yamada attempt in the dying moments. The hosts faced little else as the minutes passed. “We shall not be moved” has become the favoured chant at the ground. It's hard to ignore the noise.
