Late Shankland penalty sees 10-man Hearts stun Motherwell

Lawrence Shankland scored an 89th-minute penalty to earn 10-man Hearts a 3-2 victory against Motherwell in a Tynecastle thriller.

The hosts’ win means they end the weekend in fourth place in the Scottish Premiership, while the visitors lie ninth.

The red card awarded to Hearts’ Jorge Grant in the 38th minute was the first incident of note, with the midfielder dismissed after catching Callum Slattery on the follow-through following a lunging tackle.

But Robbie Neilson’s side were undeterred and went ahead thanks to Andy Halliday goals either side of half-time, with the left-back now notching four in four matches.

Motherwell fought back when Louis Moult came off the bench to hit his first goal since his return on loan on Deadline Day and Blair Spittal finished off an excellent move to level in the 79th minute.
