Motherwell were looking to start 2025 in a positive light when they travelled to Tynecastle for their first fixture of the new year, but the hosts got themselves ahead in the opening stages and rarely looked back. A lacklustre day at the office was pounced upon by the Jambos, with Hearts dominating and creating numerous openings. In what was a day to forget, the Steelmen could've snatched a point but for the late dramatics of Hearts keeper Craig Gordon. The next chance comes quick, as Aberdeen visit ML1 in just two days time.
