IT'S A DREAM FOR HALKETT

HEARTS sit proudly on top of the Premiership throne this morning.

- FRASER WILSON AT TYNECASTLE

And for the first time in two years high-flying Jambos are in possession of the capital crown too, after a right royal rumble at their Gorgie castle.

Hibs were dumped for the first time in five derbies - and the first in five visits to Tynecastle - thanks to Craig Halkett’s incredible injury-time strike.

Storm Amy did her best to blow this derby off course.

But it was a Halkett hurricane that blew through Gorgie after a ferocious encounter left Derek McInnes' side five points clear of Celtic at the top.

Hearts had the wind at their backs from the start but it took until 23 minutes for an attempt on goal. Alexandros Kyziridis’ wind-assisted 25-yarder was not unlike his goal a week earlier.

The same player whipped in a dangerous free-kick that had to be booted clear by Raphael Sallinger soon after.

But the first half ended without a single shot on target at either end.

Hearts took a grip after the restart. Cammy Devlin and Beni Baningime were starting to dictate from the middle but out of nowhere Martin Boyle came within an inch of an opener.

He burst clear in to the box, dinked the diving Schwolow and watched in agony as his effort hit the bottom of the bar before being cleared by Stuart Findlay.

That was Hibs’ big chance.

And they were made to pay in injury time as sub Sabah Kerjota’s brilliant ball deep to the back post found Halkett ghosting in to volley home.

Here's the five big talking points from the capital derby...

HAIL HALKETT

McInnes continues to play it cool but with every win, each test passed, the Jambo bandwagon gathers steam.

There's something special about this squad. They have match winners aplenty and strength in depth. This was far from scintillating. But in typical McInnes style, his side found a way to win.

And cometh the moment, cometh the man as Halkett's last-gasp strike sent Tynecastle into a state of delirium.
