Falkirk maintained their impressive momentum by defeating Scottish Premiership runners-up Hearts 5-2 on their travels. Latvian midfielder Deniss Meļņiks delivered an assist during a stretch where Falkirk netted five unanswered goals prior to the 47th minute.
Earlier in the campaign, the visiting side encountered difficulties, accumulating four losses, three draws, and a single win across their opening eight league fixtures. They have subsequently rattled off five straight triumphs, which featured a 2-0 success against current champions Celtic the previous week. Additionally, Falkirk previously defeated Hearts by a 2-1 margin in their initial encounter of the season.
Meļņiks provided the setup for the first of American forward Jacob Carter’s two goals in the 33rd minute. Following this result, Falkirk hold 21 points through 13 games and have climbed into the top three positions in the standings.
