Hearts moved five points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership after Steven Naismith's first-half goal secured a 1-0 win at Motherwell.
With the Jam Tarts' boss Craig Levein watching from the stand following his recent health scare, they netted in the 28th minute when Carl McHugh played a short back pass to goalkeeper Trevor Carson.
Uche Ikpeazu intervened and the ball came to Naismith, who slotted in to add to his hat-trick against St Mirren last time out.
It makes it five wins from five league games this term for Hearts as they extended their lead over second-placed Celtic, who were held 0-0 at St Mirren on Friday night.

Livingston are level on points with Celtic after they beat Hamilton 1-0 at home thanks to Steven Lawless' spectacular early strike.
