Rampant Hearts Come Back to Sink Weary Livingston

Livingston 's faint hopes of Scottish Premiership survival were dealt another blow as rampant Hearts came from two goals down to win at Tynecastle .

To add insult to injury in stoppage-time, Mikey Devlin's headed backpass was easily picked off by Oda, who was brought down on his way to goal by goalkeeper Shamal George. Shankland was excellent again, but Grant's drive from midfield and influence in the final third gets him the award.This was a complete sickener for Martindale and Livingston, who made the perfect start in their bid to close to six points of Ross County ahead of their meeting with Rangers on Sunday.

The fact three of them were Hearts players getting a free strike on goal from around the six-yard box will infuriate Martindale. But it's no surprise given Livingston have the worst defensive record in the league.
