'A well-worked set-piece, you can't beat it'

Hearts have been the kings of the set-piece in the Scottish Premiership this season, scoring eight goals from corners and two more from indirect free-kicks.

However, they were undone by a magnificent Dundee United corner routine on Sunday.

Amar Fatah's corner was fizzed to the back post, where Luca Stephenson planted a header into the far corner as United earned a point against the league leaders.

"Fatah is inch-perfect with his delivery and the three on the edge of the six-yard box drive the rest of the Hearts defenders in to create space," Michael Stewart said on Sportscene.

"There's loads of pace on the delivery, so Stephenson just has to guide it back where it's come from."

It was just United's second league goal of the season from corners, but they are likely to be plenty more on that evidence.
