Alim Ozturk scored a stunning stoppage-time equaliser as Hearts hit back to draw 1-1 with Hibernian in the Edinburgh derby at Easter Road on Sunday.

The Turkish defender thundered a 35-yard shot in off the underside of the bar to move Robbie Neilson's side seven points clear at the top of the Championship.

Hibs took the lead just before half-time when Dominique Malonga pounced from close range and the visitors were reduced to 10 men with 11 minutes remaining when Callum Paterson saw red for a bad challenge on the former Cesena striker.

Alan Stubbs' men looked set to avenge their 2-1 defeat at Tynecastle in August until Ozturk struck from distance to ensure a share of the spoils in the capital and preserve Hearts’ unbeaten record.
