Scottish Premiership Review: Hearts set early pace

Newly promoted Hearts maintained their 100 per cent start to the season courtesy of a come-from-behind 2-1 win at Dundee.

The home side deservedly led at the interval thanks to an early headed effort from Kane Hemmings, but Hearts levelled things up from the spot just short of the hour-mark, Juanma finding the net from the spot after a cross from Sam Nicholson was handled by James McPake. 
And seven minutes later, Juanma added his and Hearts' second, leaving several defenders trailing in his wake before sliding the ball past Scott Bain in the home goal.

Ryan Christie's rasping drive looked set to secure all three points for the hosts, but Graham Cummins salvaged a point for St Johnstone when he headed home Joe Shaughnessy's cross in the final minute of normal time.
