    Wonderful play. He doesn't stand out wide hoping it comes to him. Now, all the momentum is with Motherwell.

    What a game!

    Hearts 2-1 Motherwell

    Hearts have 15 minutes plus plenty of stoppage time to hold on.

    What a win it would be if they could hold on with 10 men.

  5. YELLOW CARD - Toby Sibbick (Hearts)published at 16:35 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2022

    Hearts 2-1 Motherwell

    Sibbick clips Blair Spittal after the Motherwell midfielder jinked by him.

    Liam Kelly floats a ball over the top and Sean Goss is on to it, and then tangles with Sibbick in the box.

    The Motherwell midfielder is flagged offside, but a replay shows he was definitely onside. The officials are not having the best game here.

    Motherwell striker Kevin van Veen lets fly from 25 yards but it's straight at Craig Gordon.

    We've said it time and time again that Hearts are struggling with balls into the box. There's plenty life left in this game!

    Andy Halliday hunts a hat-trick and heads just wide.

    This game is feisty now. Gripping stuff.

    Hearts 2-1 Motherwell

    The decision stands.

    It's close but Kevin van Veen has strayed offside. It was some finish.

    I think the Motherwell bench are still working out why Hearts keeper Craig Gordon is still on the pitch...

  10. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:25 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2022

    Hearts 2-1 Motherwell

    Kevin van Veen leathers in a fantastic volley!

    But the ball ripples the net, and the linesman's flag is up. As ever, it will be checked by VAR David Munro.

    It's not a straight red card because Craig Gordon goes for the ball.

    Louis Moult (pen)

    Moult sticks the ball to Craig Gordon's right, and the goalkeeper goes the other way.

    There's then a stramash between both sets of players. Now we have a game on.

  13. PENALTY MOTHERWELLpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2022

    Hearts 2-0 Motherwell

    Matt Penney flicks the ball in behind for Louis Moult, who goes around Craig Gordon, and the Hearts keeper brings him down!

    VAR will check, of course. Worth noting Gordon has already been booked.

    Alex Cochrane slides in to clear Sean Goss' fantastic delivery across the six-yard box for Motherwell.

    Louis Moult replaces Connor Shields for Motherwell.

    Hearts 2-0 Motherwell

    Blair Spittal takes a Motherwell corner and pings it to Sean Goss on the edge of the box.

    Hearts are on top of him, win the ball and counter. Lawrence Shankland goes for goal from halfway with Liam Kelly off his line, but it's over.

    He did score on from a similar position for Dundee United against St Johnstone...

    Andy Halliday

    Incredible!

    Barrie McKay and Robert Snodgrass combine on the left and it's through for Halliday to walk onto the ball and smash a left-foot shot into the bottom corner.

    Four in four for Halliday. The 10 men of Hearts are rampant.

    It's a big 45 minutes for Steven Hammell and Motherwell. They've got a full half against 10 men and need to produce something.

    Motherwell have been miles away, but that's because Hearts have been so good. It's the kind of performance you expect from them at Tynecastle.
