Falkirk 2-1 Hearts result, stats and report

Hearts ground out a 2-1 victory at Falkirk on Tuesday evening, with goals from Ben Krauhaus and Owen Eames enough to claim three points despite Falkirk's James Wilson pulling one back. It was a result that flattered neither side, but Hearts had the ruthlessness when it mattered.
