Hearts 1-0 Dundee: McEntee Header Keeps Edinburgh Side Top

Oisin McEntee's 90th-minute header secured a crucial 1-0 victory for 10-man Hearts against Dundee at Tynecastle. The defender met Marc Leonard's free-kick at the far post, nodding past Jon McCracken to maintain Hearts' Scottish Premiership title charge. The win came despite Frankie Kent's late red card for a second bookable offense.

Hearts dominated possession but struggled to convert chances, with Dundee's defense frustrating their attacks through Claudio Braga and Pierre Landry Kabore. The visitors' resilience was undone by a set-piece lapse, leaving them to rue a missed opportunity to extend their five-game unbeaten run. Dundee's defensive display deserved better than a defeat.

This victory extends Hearts' lead at the top to five points, with their fourth consecutive 1-0 home win marking their first such streak since 2016. Manager Derek McInnes' side now sit five points clear, guaranteed to remain top before the final international break. The Edinburgh club's unlikely title challenge continues to gather momentum as Rangers and Celtic prepare to respond later this weekend.
