Livingston 1-2 Hearts: Hearts five clear in third as Livi woes continue

Lawrence Shankland becomes the first Scottish player to score in six consecutive Premiership games since Leigh Griffiths in 2015

Hearts moved five points clear in third place in the Scottish Premiership as they continued to pile the misery on Livingston, who have now lost 11 of their last 13 games.

Lawrence Shankland scored for a sixth consecutive game to secure the win, but only after missing a second-half penalty chance to break the deadlock.

Kenneth Vargas had given Hearts the lead two minutes after Shankland’s miss and, while Andrew Shinnie’s penalty did give Livingston hope, they were unable to find a leveller.

It was a tough day for David Martindale’s side, who had Kurtis Guthrie’s early header disallowed for offside, and they remain six points adrift at the bottom.
