Motherwell’s Porter deals Hearts a crushing blow

HEARTS target Chris Porter consigned the Edinburgh club to defeat at Fir Park as Motherwell continued their return to form last night.

The striker headed home the only goal of the rearranged Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at the end of a flowing move in the 11th minute.

Hearts then failed to trouble Motherwell goalkeeper Graeme Smith as the home side effectively closed down their visitors.
