Dundee started under some pressure but it came to nothing, Ian Lawlor dropped a cross ball but recovered quickly. Hearts did score on 18 minutes when Simms got into the box and his shot went through the legs of Lawlor, it looked a soft goal to lose.
Soon after and Ryan Sweeney done well to clear one off the line it looked a certain goal. Ryan Sweeney had a header which went too high over the bar
Dundee did have half chances but all their efforts failed to hit the target. At least they got to half time only 1-0 down.
Second half and after six minutes it was 1-1, a good run by Danny Mullen and his cross came off Sibbick and it went into the net to level the game. A bit of luck but nobody from Dundee will complain.
Dundee had to weather some pressure but Lawlor made some vital saves. Dundee claimed for a penalty for hand ball but it did look soft. Dundee looked a lot better and played some nice football.
Hearts lacked the final ball to trouble Dundee and their fans were not happy. Dundee then took the lead when a good run by Anderson and the ball fell to McGinn whose cross was put in the net via the cross bar by Danny Mullen. A well taken goal and one that they fully deserved.
Dundee saw the last 12 minutes out and Lawlor saved well in the last minute the closest Hearts came to saving a point.
I watched the game on Alba at 10pm and it was good to see a vital win which the players gave 100% each. The score line never surprised me as it's what Dundee have done in the last 40 years.
