    Ross County 0-1 Hearts

    Nice work from Liam Boyce, a couple of step-overs then a sharp, low cross aimed at Alex Schalk, but the Dutchman scuffs his shot into the ground and Hearts goalie Neil Alexander has no trouble making the save.

    Alex Schalk is booked for taking a dive in the Hearts box. It's all getting a bit desperate for the home side.

    That freakish goal has knocked the stuffing out of the hosts, who were well on top at the time. As you can see, Hearts are quite pleased about that unusual turn of events.

    As soon as I posted that last photo, David Goodwillie is hooked. Alex Schalk is the man replacing him in the Ross County attack.

    "That's football for you. County looked well on top at the start of the second half but slackness and misfortune gifts Hearts the opener. Irvine's header seems to hit Jamie Walker with goalkeeper Scott Fox claiming he was held or blocked."

    They all count... Jamie Walker looks a little sheepish as Hearts celebrate the opening goal. A Don Cowie corner is repelled by the head of Jackson Irvine but it cannons off the visiting midfielder and flies into the net.

    Liam Boyce is in the thick of the action again as his header is snaffled up by Neil Alexander.

    So close for County! Liam Boyce takes aim for the far top corner and his curling shot slams off the crossbar, with Neil Alexander nowhere near it.

    County break swiftly and David Goodwillie releasess Michael Gardyne but he can't apply the finishing touch to the return pass as Callum Paterson nips in to make a crucial interception.

    From the resulting corner, Jackson Irvine again gets there first but can't hit the target - again.

    "His work-rate has been impressive but David Goodwillie looks like a lad that's not played a lot of football and is short of confidence," says BBC Sportsound pundit Craig Paterson.

    We had a great chance inside the first minute when Sam Nicholson shot wide for the visitors and Jackson Irvine ought to have hit the target with a header for County but that's been pretty much it.

    Let's hope we get a few more thrills and spills after the break...

    "Commentator Paul Mitchell with a superb contribution describing Richard Foster's frustration as a 'robotic dance'. Wonder if Amy MacDonald's been coaching her fiancé?"
