Hibernian 1-1 Heart of Midlothian: Boyle earns hosts dramatic draw
Martin Boyle #MartinBoyle
Lawrence Shankland pokesd the ball past David Marshall to put Hearts ahead in the first half
Martin Boyle made a heroic return to Hibernian with a 95th-minute equaliser to deny Hearts Edinburgh derby victory at Easter Road.
Lawrence Shankland’s first Hearts goal, a stabbed finish amid suspicions he used an arm to control Barrie McKay’s pass, looked set to give the visitors a merited Scottish Premiership win.
But Hibs summoned a late rally and after Rocky Bushiri squandered a golden chance, Boyle – who rejoined the club a day earlier – stabbed in to spark delirium among the home fans.
Hearts extended their unbeaten derby run to seven game but it was scant consolation as they were left rueing a failure to make the most of their second-half dominance, with Shankland and McKay foiled by David Marshall’s superb double save.
It leaves both sides with four points from their opening two league matches.
