Hearts have it all to do in Europa Conference League Group A after a 5-1 loss to Fiorentina.
The Jambos lost 3-0 to the Serie A side last week at Tynecastle and found themselves 2-0 down inside 25 minutes on the return leg. Luka Jovic scored a header while Nathaniel Atkinson was off getting treatment before Barrie McKay was harshly judged to have committed a foul outside the box, Cristiano Biraghi converting the resulting free-kick.
It could have been so different when Stephen Humphrys cracked the post inside the opening 30 seconds but from there it was all Fiorentina. Nicolas Gonzalez and Antonin Barak scored the third and fourth before half-time and Humphrys eventually got his deserved goal. A penalty by Gonzalez sobered them further and the Jambos' Europa Conference League knockout round qualification hopes are now slim as they need to win both games against RFS and Istanbul Basaksehir and hope Fiorentina lose their closing games. Here is how we rated the Hearts players in Florence.
