Hearts 4-0 Dundee: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of Hearts 4-0 Dundee in the Premiership on Saturday, 01 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, what a thrashing at Tynecastle! Hearts absolutely dominated Dundee, securing a convincing 4-0 victory that keeps their winning streak alive. The Jambos have been in scintillating form, with this result following a draw against St. Mirren and wins against Celtic, Kilmarnock, and Hibs. Dundee, on the other hand, are struggling to find their footing, having lost their last three matches before this encounter. This result was no surprise given Hearts' recent performances, and it's clear they're hitting their stride at the perfect time.

Pierre Landry Kabore was the star of the show, bagging a brace that helped seal the deal for Hearts. The team's attacking prowess was on full display, with goals coming at crucial moments throughout the match. Dundee couldn't find a way to break through Hearts' solid defence, and their recent form suggests they'll need to regroup quickly to avoid further setbacks. Hearts, meanwhile, continue to build momentum and look set to challenge for the top spot.

The stats from this match paint a clear picture of Hearts' dominance. With 68% possession and six corners compared to Dundee's two, it's evident that Hearts controlled the game from start to finish. Dundee did manage a higher successful dribble percentage at 86%, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide in their favour. The two yellow cards for Dundee and zero for Hearts further highlight the difference in discipline and control between the two sides.

It's interesting to note that despite Dundee's higher dribble success rate, they couldn't translate that into meaningful chances or goals. Hearts' efficiency in front of goal, coupled with their strong possession and set-piece play, was the key to their victory. The stats align perfectly with the result, showcasing a comprehensive performance from the home side.

The game's turning point came early when Hearts scored their first goal in the 31st minute, setting the tone for the rest of the match. A second goal followed just seven minutes later, putting Dundee firmly on the back foot. The third goal in the 56th minute all but sealed the victory, and the fourth in the 79th minute was the icing on the cake for Hearts.

These goals were crucial in dictating the flow of the game. Each one came at a time when Dundee might have been hoping to mount a comeback, but Hearts' relentless attacking pressure ensured there was no way back for the visitors. The timing and execution of these goals were pivotal in securing such a convincing win.

Hearts lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Alexander Schwolow in goal and a back four of McEntee, Steinwender, Findlay, and Milne. The midfield was anchored by Kyziridis, Baningime, Devlin, and Spittal, with Shankland and Kabore leading the line up front. The lineup showed no surprises, with the team sticking to their tried-and-true formation.

Kabore's brace was the standout performance, but the entire team contributed to the victory. The five substitutions made by Hearts suggest they were able to maintain their intensity throughout the match, with fresh legs coming on to keep the pressure on Dundee. The formation and lineup worked perfectly, allowing Hearts to dominate from start to finish.

Dundee opted for a 3-4-3 formation, with Jon McCracken between the sticks and a back three of Astley, Robertson, and Koumetio. The midfield quartet of Wright, Digby, Hamilton, and Samuels worked hard, but struggled to make an impact. Up front, Westley, Murray, and Congreve were unable to find the net.

The lineup didn't yield the desired results, as Dundee were outplayed and outscored. The four substitutions made by Dundee indicate an attempt to change the game's momentum, but it was too little, too late. The formation and lineup choices didn't help Dundee overcome Hearts' dominance, and they'll need to reassess their strategy moving forward.

Pierre Landry Kabore is Ladbrokes' Man of the Match, and it's easy to see why. With two goals and a key pass, Kabore was instrumental in Hearts' victory. His brace not only secured the win but also showcased his clinical finishing and ability to be in the right place at the right time. A well-deserved accolade for a standout performance.
