PLAYER OF THE MATCH

John Souttar continues to impress. The defender was assured on the ball, rarely flustered at the back and scored a lovely goal. Scotland recall can’t be far away.

LETDOWN

The behaviour of some supporters when Dundee equalised. A portion of the visiting support tried to jump the tarpaulin and meet the Hearts fans housed in the Roseburn Stand, while someone in the main stand threw a cup of juice at the celebrating Dees players. Unnecessary actions from all involved.

TURNING POINT

With Hearts leading 1-0, Gary Mackay-Steven thumped the post from close range. Had that strike gone in, Dundee were sunk. The rest is history.

REFEREE WATCH

Gavin Duncan took his time in booking foul-happy Charlie Adam but largely had a good game.

GAVE US A GIGGLE

Robbie Neilson had to sit in the press box due to his touchline ban. Peering through perspex shields on the the desks, he looked out of place.
