Hibernian Turning the tables

-

There have been countless occasions when I’ve had cause to wonder how Hibernian have lost a derby despite dominating for large periods. The tables were turned last Saturday, when we came from behind to win at Tynecastle after Hearts had gone a goal in front and were the better side for the first 25 minutes. They will rue missed chances in that period but any sense of injustice on their part should be tempered by the realisatio­n they have benefitted from some blunders by officials in this fixture in recent years.

And it was hardly one-way traffic. Once Hibs went 2-1 up we could have added to our lead were it not for some profligate finishing. The goals from Daryl Horgan were top quality, particular­ly the winner which was a superb finish.
