. Joel Pereira - 4
Debatable whether he could have done more at the opener, but definitely should've stopped Ali McCann's strike. Had another couple of scary moments too. | other Photo: SNS
. Sean Clare - 7
Some questions defensively as Saints routinely got in behind Hearts' right-hand side, but he was strong going forward and netted a stunner. | other Photo: SNS
. Aidy White - 5
Another who sometimes overdid it a little going forward as St Johnstone had joy down the wings. | other Photo: SNS
. Craig Halkett - 5
Was constantly turned by the Saints defence in the second half, though he perhaps deserves the benefit of the doubt for having little protection. Gave away the penalty. | other Photo: SNS
. John Souttar - 7
The only one of the defence not to have a poor game. Made some big challenges, used the ball well and had an assist for Hearts' second. | other Photo: SNS
9. Liam Boyce - 7
Hearts best attacking player. He scored, showed some nice touches and, even in the second half where his performance dipped, continued to win fouls. | other Photo: SNS
10. Steven Naismith - 7
A strong first half where he scored Hearts' second, he was then shunted about the pitch in the second period as Hearts sought to draw level. | other Photo: SNS
11. Ryotaro Meshino - 5
The most ineffective of the attacking players. He was unsurprisingly the first one subbed off. | other Photo: SNS
