00:00Hearts have gone temporarily top of the Premiership this evening after a 2-1 win over Livingston here at the home of the Setfair Arena.
00:11Another dramatic end to a Hearts game, they got the winner in the first minutes of stoppage time through Alexandros Kisavidis, their supersub, to win 2-1 over the hosts.
00:20Livingston had gone in front through Lewis Smith, they probably shaded the first half.
00:24In the second period, Derek McInnes, the Hearts manager, he changed the formation to 4-4-2 from 3-5-2.
00:30He brought on Kisavidis, who in two minutes had set up Claudio Braga for the equaliser.
00:36And then Hearts pushed and pushed and pushed for that winner, roared on by more than 6,000 away supporters.
00:41And it finally came when Kisavidis curled home after Livingston failed to clear at the edge of their box.
00:46It sparked wild scenes in the away end here and maintained Hearts' impressive starts to some building momentum,
00:53which will be so important for McInnes.
00:55And I suppose what will also be pleasing for him is that Hearts aren't playing at their best,
00:59yet they have 10 points from 12 in their opening four matches.
01:02Their next game is away at Rangers when the league reconvenes in two weeks' time,
01:06and that'll be an extremely tasty affair.
01:09The Hearts fans left it in buoyant mood.
01:12They enjoyed watching their new record signing.
01:14Ajeo, a Brazilian midfielder, come on for the last half an hour.
01:17He played pretty well, some nice touches, looked an assured presence in that midfield.
01:21McInnes has so many options, and that'll really help him as they look to build on their strong stars.
01:26Livingston may feel aggrieved they put so much into this match.
01:30They almost leveled right at the end when Andy Winter headed narrowly wide from close range from a corner kick.
01:36In the end it was Hearts who took all three points.
01:38A big win for them here in West Lovian where it finished Livingston 1, Hearts 2.
