Match Report
Hearts ground out a 1-0 victory over Dundee at Tynecastle to extend their lead at the Scottish Premiership summit to five points. Defender Oisin McEntee rose to head home in the 77th minute, breaking the deadlock in a match that had looked destined for a goalless draw.
Neither side created much in a cagey affair, but McEntee's header from a right-wing corner proved decisive, with questions raised over Dundee keeper Jon McCracken's positioning. The drama wasn't done — Frankie Kent picked up a second yellow in stoppage time, leaving the Jambos to see out the final moments with ten men.
Derek McInnes' side now sit on 66 points from 31 games, five clear of Celtic, who face Dundee United at Tannadice tomorrow. For Dundee, stuck in eighth on 32 points, it was another frustrating afternoon on the road.
