Vykintas Slivka has space inside the box but sends his effort straight down the throat of Hearts keeper Joel Pereira.
Hibs appear in the mood to add to their two-goal lead in what's becoming one-way traffic in the Edinburgh derby.

Former Hibernian manager on SportsoundQuote MessageThere could be more goals for Hibs here today. If they go into the second half with a clean sheet, they can do it. Hearts have had fighting spirit, but Hibs are the better team today.

Michael Stewart
Former Scotland midfielder on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageIt's a fantastic finish from Martin Boyle. I mean a really intelligent bit of play. Loic Damour's reaction is as if he has the weight of he world on his shoulders. You have to stand up and be counted.
GREAT SAVE!published at 32 mins

How will Hearts respond to that potential killer blow? Ryotaro Meshino engineers space for himself wide left before thundering forward and firing a rasping drive that seems destined for the top corner...
But Ofir Marciano has other ideas, leaping brilliantly to tip away the goal-bound effort.
GOAL! Hearts 0-2 Hibernianpublished at 31 mins
Martin Boyle
Hibs double their lead through... who else? Martin Boyle. Scott Allan nicks the ball off Loic Damour's toes and threads a great through ball for Boyle.
The midfielder gathers possession, and his thoughts, before calmly firing home. The visitors are in dreamland; Hearts head coach Daniel Stendel takes a nervous gulp from his bottle of water.

End of twitter postThings can only get Berra?published at 23 mins
Hearts 0-1 Hibernian
Hibs' movement in the final third is giving Hearts captain Christophe Berra a torrid time in the opening 25 minutes. The skipper must be feeling he'd prefer to be tucking into a turkey sandwich from the comfort of the couch and watching Only Fools & Horses than marshaling the shaky Hearts defence.

Scott Allan's corner kisses the crossbar but then fails to find a Hibernian head with the Hearts defence looking far from convincing.
CLOSE!published at 18 mins

Should Hibs be two goals to the good? Probably.
Aaron Hickey has his pocket picked by an alert Jason Naismith after some calamitous defending. Naismith finds Vykintas Slivka but he blazes over.

Hearts, aiming to restore parity, fire a corner kick into the box but the Hibs defence partially clear Meshino's delivery before the towering Marciano trots off his line to gather.

A momentarily lull in the frenetic pace and noise reverberating around Tynecastle as the hosts, bloodied by Hibs landing the first blow, look to respond.
However, Daniel Stende's side are struggling to get the ball into the feet of Uche Ikpeazu.

It's as though the players from both sides are keen to work off any excess turkey and festive over-indulgence.
Tynecastle is ablaze with noise, colour and crunching tackles. Throw in a stunning volley and an unsuccessful penalty claim and we have a cracking opening 10 minutes in the Edinburgh derby...
