Jeffries surprised by "unbelievable" tie
Boss Jim Jefferies was left flabbergasted after watching Hearts slip to defeat in their Co-operative Insurance Cup third-round tie with Irn-Bru First Division side Falkirk at Falkirk Stadium.
The hosts led at the interval through substitute Mark Stewart and Carl Finnigan and, with Jambos' defender Craig Thomson sent off after appearing to kick out at Finnigan when they clashed on the touchline, it looked a long away back for Jeffries' men.
But in a dramatic fightback, Kevin Kyle reduced the deficit from the spot in the 66th minute and Suso Santa levelled before Kyle headed the visitors into the lead.
However, Ryan Flynn equalised and, with seconds of the three added minutes remaining and with extra time looming, Stewart knocked in a dramatic winner after Brian McLean had headed back a Jack Compton corner.
"I don't think I've ever been involved in a game as unbelievable as that," Jeffries said. "As you can imagine Billy Brown and I tore in to them at half-time.
"It was a magnificent effort in the second half by everybody and when we went 3-2 up, we should have learned our lessons."
