Elliott brace sinks Killie
Stephen Elliott's second-half double gave Hearts a deserved 2-1 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park and stretched their unbeaten run in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League to 10 games.
Killie took the lead in the 19th minute when Portuguese striker Rui Miguel took a pass from Alexei Eremenko at the edge of the box before driving low past Jambos keeper Marian Kello.
The Gorgie side had been disappointing in the first half but came back strongly after the break and levelled in the 72nd minute when Elliott, on for Arvydas Novikovas at the interval, volleyed in from 12 yards.
There was more drama to come with four minutes remaining when he drove past Killie keeper Cameron Bell from inside the box although it looked as if a stronger hand might have kept the ball out.
But there is little doubt that the Gorgie men merited their win in the end, despite their unconvincing start.
