Quote MessageIt was an extremely late decision from Grant to make the tackle. He's caught off guard, so he has to go in with some degree of force to get there.
Ten-man Hearts lead at the break.
Jorge Grant was sent off for serious foul play after a robust challenge on Callum Slattery.
But no matter, apparently, as Andy Halliday headed in the opening goal for Hearts.
The full-back was then remonstrating furiously with referee Kevin Clancy after the half-time whistle, as boos were bellowed from the stands.

Rickie Lamie heads over the bar, but then referee Kevin Clancy awards Motherwell another corner.

Fortunately, Hearts defend the corner.

Quote MessageIf you win the ball but you follow through and catch him under the knee, you're still endangering an opponent.

The decision stands, Robbie Neilson is fuming at the fourth official. Boos ring around Tynecastle.
Grant did fly in on Slattery. He claims he got a touch of the ball. Hearts are down to 10 men.
It's Grant's second red of the season after his sending off in the home leg against FC Zurich earlier this season.
Hearts 0-0 Motherwell
Now then.
Jorge Grant goes crunching into a tackle on Callum Slattery, and referee Kevin Clancy is straight out with the red card.
There will be a VAR check of course.
Hearts 0-0 Motherwell
There are grumbles around Tynecastle.
A wonderful cross comes in from Motherwell's left-hand side, and Callum Slattery heads just wide from 10 yards.
A great chance.

Liam Kelly to the rescue for Motherwell!
He is put in terrible trouble by Stephen O'Donnell, who fires a dreadful backpass in.
Kelly knees it in the air, and Cammy Devlin pounces and gets in the box, but the Motherwell keeper makes the save.
The Australian then lashes the rebound over the bar.

Quote MessageI'm amazed he hasn't played on through. If he nicks the ball and Liam Kelly doesn't get any contact, Kelly's off or Ginnelly has an empty net.

Quote MessageThe minute it left his foot it looked like it was always drifting wide. Better from Motherwell.

The Hearts fans go crazy at Josh Ginnelly.
Jorge Grants slips a lovely ball right in behind the Motherwell defence, and out comes goalkeeper Liam Kelly.
Ginnelly looked like he was getting there but seemed to duck the challenge and Kelly cleared.

Motherwell go very close.
Cammy Devlin's pass is cut out in his own half, and Blair Spittal gets it from Kevin van Veen and then gives it back, and the Dutch striker fires just wide from the edge of the area.

Hearts are piling the pressure on in the early stages at Tynecastle.

Better from Hearts. Andy Halliday is slipped into the channel and drives into the box, but his shot is well off target.
It was a nice move from back to front from Hearts, though.
