Hibernian dented Hearts’ Premiership title charge as they survived a late fightback to claim a 3-2 win in the Edinburgh derby.
Jamie McGrath had the Hibees in heaven after just three minutes when he volleyed Nicky Cadden’s cross into the net.
The Irishman then set up Josh Campbell to head in their second before half-time, with Hearts yet to register a shot on target.
Confidence was high as Kieron Bowie fired home a third as Hibs headed for back-to-back home wins against their city rivals for the first time in seven years.
Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland nodded in from a corner to give the league leaders hope and Nicky Devlin tapped in a second late on, before Raphael Sallinger pulled off brilliant stoppage-time saves to deny Shankland and Elton Kabangu to inflict just a second league defeat of the season upon their arch rivals.
