Hibs dominated their rivals from start to finish and almost opened the scoring in the 6th minute following a mix up in the Hearts defence. Hearts captain Robbie Neilson almost let Hibernian in again with another defencive slip up but again Hibs couldn’t capitalize. However Neilson was again guilty of another mix up and this time James McCarthy punished Hearts to put Hibs 1 nil up. In the latter stages of the game both Hibs and Hearts had penalty claims turned down but in the end Hibs saw out the game comfortably.

Last night Hibernian extended their unbeaten run in the league, which stretches to five games.

Fantastic early season form has pushed the Hibees in the title frame and, whilst many experts felt the club hope for European football at best, recent form has suggested the club may be strong enough to make a real challenge for the title this season. Needless to say, fans of the club are absolutely delighted with their excellent start to the season.
