Heart of Midlothian secured a big 5-2 win over Dundee United on Saturday, with Liverpool loanee Ben Woodburn playing a starring role.

Woodburn’s first came as he fired underneath Benjamin Siegrist having been playing in down the right side of the box.

The Welshman later produced a delicate finish to make it 3-1, playing a key role in a thumping win at Tynecastle.

Woodburn has had a slow start to life at Hearts since joining on loan in August, failing to really hit top form and occasionally coming off the bench of late.

Now off the mark in terms of goals, Woodburn will be looking to kick on and really shine for Robbie Neilson’s side.

Hearts fans rave about Liverpool loanee Woodburn

It’s highly unlikely that Woodburn will earn a Liverpool stay off the back of this loan deal.

HIs contract ends next summer and, having failed to really live up to his potential, Liverpool surely won’t keep Wodburn.

Maybe Woodburn can earn an extended stay at Hearts – and it sounds like fans would love to see him stick around in Edinburgh.

Hearts fans have been calling Woodburn a ‘baller’, noting that his second goal was a ‘class’ finish.

Others called Woodburn ‘brilliant’, branding him ‘different gravy’ whilst asking Liverpool if Hearts can keep him.
