Hearts breathe sigh of relief as they beat Spartans 2-1

Spartans 1-2 Hearts 

by Jon Tait

at Ainslie Park 

THE TV cameras were at tiny Ainslie Park hoping for an upset.
Frankie Kent’s stoppage-time winner made sure they didn’t get one.

Alex Cochrane whipped over a corner in the 92nd minute and Kent got up to head powerfully into the bottom corner from six yards — and Hearts breathed a huge sigh of relief.

“It was a tough game but we stuck in there and kept trying to do the right things and we got there in the end,” admitted the former Peterborough defender.
