Hearts boss Robbie Neilson admits it was "too easy" for Celtic to break down his team, after the Jambos were knocked out of the Scottish Cup at the quarter final stage with a 3-0 loss at Tynecastle.
Neilson's men got off to the worst possible start with just two minutes on the clock, as Jota was allowed to drive down the right to pull the ball back to Aaron Mooy who beat Zander Clark with a strike from 14 yards out. Although they were without their talisman striker Lawrence Shankland, the Jambos offered a decent response to going behind, and defender Tobey Sibbick was denied an equaliser by a stunning save from close range by Joe Hart.
However the Hoops were once again able to show their ruthless streak in front of goal, as Kyogo Furuhashi expertly flicked the ball home from Alistair Johnston's near post cross to double the away side's lead with a minute of the half remaining.
