Hearts come from behind to stay top after VAR-confirmed penalty | OneFootball

Hearts beat Motherwell 3-1 at Tynecastle Park to stay top of the Scottish Premiership and maintain their unbeaten home record.

In the 50th minute Emmanuel Longelo finished from close range to put Motherwell ahead.

Cláudio Braga, now on 14 league goals and third in the Premiership scoring chart, levelled from a corner (61.), turning in Stuart Findlay's headed pass. The hosts had threatened from set pieces throughout.

After a double change brought on Sabah Kerjota and Pierre Kaboré (66.), Hearts carried more bite in wide areas.

Kaboré then won a penalty after a foul by Stephen Welsh (83.). VAR confirmed the spot kick (85.), and Lawrence Shankland converted into the bottom left (87.).

Kaboré sealed it in the second minute of second half stoppage time, steering in Beni Baningime's pass. His celebration earned a yellow card moments later.

Hearts registered 12 attempts, with five on target, and won six corners. Motherwell had 53.4% possession and 12 attempts, testing the goalkeeper three times.

Next, Hearts visit Hibernian. Motherwell travel to Rangers.
