Islam Chesnokov settled it in the 45th minute with a left-footed finish, as Hearts beat Falkirk 1-0.
The Kazakhstan international drifted into the centre and guided his strike from the middle of the box, breaking the game open on the stroke of half time.
After the restart, he stepped up again from range, seeing one effort blocked (55.). Another shot from outside the box was charged down as Falkirk sat deeper (64.).
He finished with three attempts, one on target, plus six possessions won and three tackles, underlining a two-way display that kept Hearts on the front foot.
With two successful dribbles and four successful final third passes, Chesnokov repeatedly found pockets between the lines, keeping The Bairns' shape unsettled and helping the Jambos manage the key phases.
The Jambos stay top and host Aberdeen next. The Bairns face Kilmarnock.
