Here are the talking points as a spirited early performance from Hearts gave way to a thumping at the hands of Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham at…
Hearts continued their 150th anniversary celebrations by welcoming Tottenham Hotspur back to Tynecastle, their opponents from their centenary match back in 1974.
Brennan Johnson opened the scoring before the interval with a thumping finish, before half-time substitute Lawrence Shankland hauled Hearts level seconds after the restart. Hearts had squandered chances of their own at the other end, but when a lightning sequence between Son and Maddison on the Spurs left allowed the latter to fire across goal for Johnson, the striker made no mistake, slamming past Craig Gordon before the keeper could move a muscle.This was a chance for some of the new arrivals in Gorgie this summer to show what they could do against a high level of opposition following the loss to Leyton Orient at the weekend, and they looked well up for it.
Yan Dhanda was also impressive as he provided the link between attack and defence, setting Taylor away for the cross that Tagawa should have converted, and picking out the forward runs of Cammy Devlin. The striker scored just three goals in 21 appearances all told last season, but two in the last two games of the campaign against St Mirren and Rangers had raised hopes that he might have been finding his feet at last.
