Hearts at one time held a 15-point cushion in third but dropped two more points by surrendering a three-goal lead against Motherwell to draw 3-3.

Craig Thomson, Rudi Skacel and Ryan Stevenson gave Hearts a commanding advantage but John Sutton led Motherwell's fightback with a double, the second of which came in the 88th minute to grab his team a point.
