Decisive figure turns the tide for Falkirk | OneFootball

Owen Eames settled the game in the 68th minute with a composed right-footed finish into the bottom left, as Falkirk beat Hearts 2-1.

The 19-year-old midfielder set the tone early, driving into pockets and carrying The Bairns up the pitch to pin the visitors back. His ball-carrying and pressing helped swing territory before the interval.

After the restart, he threatened with a blocked effort (62.), then arrived in the box to sweep home what proved the decisive strike. Hearts were forced to retreat as his constant movement disrupted their back line.

Eames finished with two attempts, one on target, five touches in the box and three possession wins in the attacking third, plus six recoveries. Those numbers underlined how he connected play between lines and kept the Jambos off balance.

The Bairns visit St Johnstone next. Hearts head to Kilmarnock.
