Queen of South 0 : 3 Hearts - Hearts continue momentum

Scottish Championship leaders Hearts maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Queen of the South.

The deadlock was broken in sensational style by Osman Sow in the 39th minute, the Swedish frontman taking the ball down on his chest and rattling in a volley off the underside of the bar from 25 yards out.

Not be outdone, Prince Buaben made it 2-0 just three minutes later with another wonderful solo effort, slaloming down the centre of the pitch and poking the ball past the helpless Alexander Clark in the Queens goal.

Hearts were in cruise control in the second period and Jordan McGhee added the third on the hour, converting Billy King's pinpoint cross from the left.

Sow, who was excellent all afternoon, had chances to add to the rout but he was denied a stunning second after Clark saved his curling effort expertly.
