Substitute Abiola Dauda brace adds gloss to Hearts win at Ross County

Hearts moved further clear of Ross County in the Ladbrokes Premiership with a 3-0 win at the Global Energy Stadium.

The Tynecastle team took the lead eight minutes into the second half when midfielder Jamie Walker appeared to get the final touch after the County defence sought unsuccessfully to clear a corner from Don Cowie.

Substitute Abiola Dauda then scored twice inside four minutes in the closing stages as Robbie Neilson's third-placed team increased their advantage over the fourth-placed Highlanders to 11 points.
