Standout star drives Hearts with goal-and-assist show at Livingston | OneFootball

Lawrence Shankland headed the equaliser in the 24th minute, setting the platform as Livingston and Hearts drew 2-2.

He found space between the centre-backs to glance in Marc Leonard's cross, a sharp movement that reset the tone for the visitors.

After the restart, the Hearts striker climbed to win a header that Cláudio Braga converted from close range (51.). He kept arriving in the box, forcing a difficult save with another header (76.).

Shankland finished with 11 attempts, two on target, and 13 touches in the box, numbers that underlined how his penalty-area presence kept the Jambos on the front foot throughout.

Because the visitors targeted wide deliveries and early crosses, his runs across the line continually unsettled Livingston and ensured The Jam Tarts controlled the key attacking moments.

Hearts rise from second to first in the Premiership and host Motherwell next. Livingston visit Dundee United next.
