Hearts 3 Hibs 0 as Lee Johnson's men suffer derby disaster with VAR drama

Hibs fell to another derby day defeat as VAR took centre stage at Tynecastle in a 3-0 defeat for the Leith side. It was Hearts' top scorer Lawrence Shankland who took the bull by the horns in Gorgie, pegging back Lee Johnson's men inside the first ten minutes with a top strike to open the scoring. Controversy struck in the first half with a very lengthy VAR check that eventually awarded Robbie Neilson's men a spot-kick that the Scot converted.
