RAPHAEL SALLINGER made two crucial stoppage-time saves as Hibs won the Edinburgh derby and handed Celtic a huge title boost at Hearts' expense.
Hibs stunned the league leading visitors by taking a 2-0 lead by halftime and then adding a third.
And even though Hearts surged back, Hibs held on for a 3-2 win thanks to Sallinger's late heroics. Hearts boss Derek McInnes said: "We didn't do the basics well enough. We've got to where we've got this season, not by being Barcelona, but by doing the basics well."
