Hearts 1-0 Dundee: Oisin McEntee scores winner as Derek McInnes' side extend lead at top of Scottish Premiership

  /  autty

Oisin McEntee left it late to score a priceless winner for 10-man Hearts in the race for the Scottish Premiership title, beating Dundee 1-0 in a scruffy encounter at Tynecastle.

Marc Leonard's free-kick was attacked by McEntee at the far post and he planted a header beyond Jon McCracken to secure a precious three points in a game of few clear-cut chances.

Hearts' lead at the top, temporarily at least, extends to five points, having won their last four home games by the same 1-0 scoreline. It's the first time the Edinburgh side have won four on the bounce at Tynecastle without conceding since 2016.

Frankie Kent was sent off in stoppage-time for a second bookable offence, tripping Charlie Reilly in full flow, but that was the only blot on an otherwise perfect afternoon for Derek McInnes, as this unlikely title charge shows no signs of slowing.

More to follow.
