Hearts 2 : 3 Falkirk - Hearts lose unbeaten record

Leaders Hearts finally lost their unbeaten league record as Falkirk took their chances to claim a 3-2 victory.

The Jambos got off to the perfect start, scoring after two minutes when Genero Zeefuik made it three goals in two games with a close-range finish after good work from Osman Sow.

Falkirk should have been level when a free-kick from the left picked out Peter Grant at the far post but he scooped his effort over the crossbar.

Hearts goalkeeper Neil Alexander had to be alert to keep out Luke Leahy but there was nothing he could do about the Bairns' equaliser after Jordan McGhee fouled Rory Loy in the box and John Baird fired in the penalty in the 33rd minute.

The visitors were on top at the start of the second half and grabbed a stunning second goal as Loy cracked a shot into the top corner after 52 minutes.

Sam Nicholson brought a point-blank save from Falkirk goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald and Hearts' increased pressure paid off when the ball fell to James Keatings who smashed in from close range 17 minutes from time.

It was Falkirk who grabbed the winner with 10 minutes remaining as Craig Sibbald curled another superb effort into the bottom corner.
