Hibernian were denied their first derby win since May 2009 as Stephen Elliott grabbed a late equaliser for Hearts in a 2-2 draw at Easter Road.\n<\/p>\n

The Jambos – who had won the last four meetings between the Edinburgh rivals – took the lead through Ryan Stevenson, before being reduced to 10 men when Marius Zaliukas saw red in Sunday’s SPL clash.<\/p>\n

Goals from Liam Miller – from the penalty spot – and Ricardo Vaz Te looked set to hand Hibs a long-awaited victory over their city rivals until Elliott struck late on.<\/p>\n

Hearts made four changes from their win over St Mirren. Goalkeeper Marian Kello was out with a back problem and was replaced by Jamie MacDonald.<\/p>\n

Andrew Driver, Ismael Bouzid and Stevenson also started, with Rudi Skacel injured, Adrian Mrowiec suspended and David Obua dropped to the bench.<\/p>\n

Hibs added Martin Scott and Miller to the side who drew with St Johnstone in their last game on March 5.<\/p>\n

The home side could have grabbed the advantage with just a minute gone when Derek Riordan found the goal at his mercy only to sidefoot wide of target when he should at least have tested MacDonald in the Hearts goal.<\/p>\n

At the other end, Elliott pounced on a cut-back from Driver only to fire straight at Mark Brown, the Hibs goalkeeper doing well to block the point-blank effort.<\/p>\n

Scott picked up the first booking with only eight minutes on the clock for a challenge on Ian Black who, after a few minutes of concern for Hearts, was able to continue.<\/p>\n

As the match continued at a frantic pace, Elliott went to ground in the box under pressure from Paul Hanlon but there was no penalty award for the visitors.<\/p>\n

It was only a matter of time before the deadlock was broken and it was Hearts who took the lead with 24 minutes gone.<\/p>\n

Driver provided the cross and Elliott touched on for Stevenson to rifle home an impressive left-foot shot from the edge of the area.<\/p>\n

But the Jambos’ joy was short-lived when Zaliukas was shown a straight red card for a foul on Akpo Sodje in the box, as referee Iain Brines pointed to the spot with 33 minutes gone.<\/p>\n

Miller stepped up for the penalty and, despite a delay as the match official insisted he reposition the ball on the spot, he eventually lashed confidently high into the net to level the scoreline.<\/p>\n

Hibs made a change at the interval when Scott was withdrawn for the introduction of Vaz Te, before they squandered a great chance to take the lead.<\/p>\n

Goalscorer Miller turned provider when he slipped the ball into the path of Victor Palsson who only had the goalkeeper to beat but he blasted over.<\/p>\n

Hibs continued to press and Vaz Te saw his volley blocked, before Palsson was replaced by David Wotherspoon for the final 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Riordan could have been the hero for Hibs when he collected Vaz Te’s pass only to see his shot blocked well by MacDonald, before rifling over the rebound.<\/p>\n

The honours went to Vaz Te instead with 10 minutes to go after he ran onto a lofted pass from Wotherspoon and stroked home from six yards.<\/p>\n

But Hearts had the final say four minutes later when Craig Thomson’s free-kick was touched on by Webster for Elliott to volley over the line from close range to seal a point.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
