Hearts returned to the top of Scottish Women’s Premier League Division 2 with a 3-1 win over Glasgow Girls, while FC Kilmarnock hit double-figures at Hutchison Vale to jump to third.
Hearts led Glasgow Girls through an Ashley Carse goal at half time and although that was cancelled out straight after the interval by Lucy McEwan, Danni Pagliarulo restored the advantage.
The crossbar prevented the hosts sealing the points only temporarily, with Alison Hall later getting their third goal from a perfectly timed run to ensure they took back the leadership from Hamilton Academical.
