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

Dive into Coral's 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.

Hearts delivered a commanding performance against Dundee, securing a resounding 4-0 victory at home. The result was not entirely surprising given Hearts' recent form, which included a draw against St. Mirren and wins against Celtic, Kilmarnock, and Hibernian. This victory extends Hearts' impressive run, showcasing their dominance in the league. Pierre Landry Kabore was particularly standout, contributing significantly to the scoreline.

Dundee, on the other hand, struggled to find their footing throughout the match, continuing their poor run of form. Their recent results, including losses to Falkirk, Aberdeen, and St. Mirren, indicate a team in need of a turnaround. The heavy defeat at Hearts' hands will be a significant blow to their confidence. Dundee will need to regroup quickly to avoid further slipping in the league standings.

The statistics from the match reflect Hearts' dominance, with 68% possession compared to Dundee's 32%. Hearts also had more corners, with six to Dundee's two, indicating their control over the game. Interestingly, Dundee had a higher successful dribble percentage at 86%, but this did not translate into meaningful chances. The absence of yellow cards for Hearts and the two for Dundee further highlight the one-sided nature of the contest.

Hearts took the lead early in the game with a goal in the 31st minute, setting the tone for the match. They continued to press, scoring again in the 38th minute, which effectively put the game out of Dundee's reach by halftime. The second half saw Hearts extend their lead with goals in the 56th and 79th minutes, showcasing their relentless attack and solidifying their victory.

Dundee, on the other hand, struggled to create any significant opportunities throughout the match. The lack of key moments from their side underscores their inability to challenge Hearts effectively. The four goals conceded will be a point of concern for Dundee as they look to improve their defensive strategy moving forward.

Hearts lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, which proved effective in their dominant performance. The attacking duo of Lawrence Shankland and Pierre Landry Kabore were particularly impactful, with Kabore scoring twice. The midfield pairing of Beni Baningime and Cammy Devlin provided solid support, contributing to Hearts' control of the game. The five substitutions made by Hearts suggest a strategy to maintain their intensity throughout the match.

Dundee opted for a 3-4-3 formation, but it failed to yield positive results against Hearts. The attacking trio of Joe Westley, Simon Murray, and Cameron Congreve were unable to break through Hearts' defense. The midfield struggled to gain control, with Paul Digby and Ethan Hamilton unable to influence the game significantly. The four substitutions made by Dundee indicate an attempt to change the course of the match, but it was to no avail.

Pierre Landry Kabore is Coral's Man of the Match, and rightly so, with his two goals playing a pivotal role in Hearts' victory. Despite not registering any assists or big chances created, his contribution to the scoreline was undeniable. His performance was a key factor in Hearts' dominant display, showcasing his importance to the team.
