A superb first-half display earned Dundee a comfortable Scottish Premiership victory against below-par Hearts at Dens Park.Scott Tiffoney fired in the opener after a poor clearance from visiting goalkeeper Zander Clark and Steven Naismith's side never recovered in a dismal opening period.Gerald Taylor netted a calamitous own goal in first-half stoppage time and just seconds later Frankie Kent fouled Tiffoney to concede a penalty, which Luke McCowan calmly dispatched.Things appeared to get worse for Hearts when Lyall Cameron netted from Seb Palmer-Houlden's cross, but a handball from Mo Sylla in the build-up denied the hosts a fourth.Hearts improved after the break and pulled one back through Frankie Kent's close-range header, but some wasteful finishing meant a potential comeback never looked likely.Send us your thoughts on Dundee's win here.
