If anyone scores a better goal than Stephen Humphrys this season, then it’s going to have to be out of this world to deny the Hearts striker the Goal of the Season gong.
Robbie Neilson’s men were 2-1 up at home to Dundee United on Saturday, having had to come from behind to lead against ten-man Dundee United. The Jambos were down a man themselves after Josh Ginnelly’s two quickfire yellow cards for time wasting and sarcastically applauding referee Nick Walsh.
With United trying to snatch a late leveller, the ball broke to Humphrys on the edge of his own box. He held off two challenges as the Hearts bench roared at him to head for the corner and eat up more precious seconds. The Wigan loanee had other ideas though, and after spotting Mark Birighitti off his line, decided to launch the ball over him from his own half, 60 yards out, and end the game as a contest there and then.
