Nathaniel Atkinson scored a stunning volley with virtually the last kick of the game to salvage a point for Hearts in an enthralling Rugby Park encounter with Kilmarnock.
After a first half laden with chances, Chris Stokes and Kyle Lafferty gave the hosts a two-goal lead, the second goal coming from a stumble from goalkeeper Craig Gordon.
Stephen Humphrys fired in his first Hearts goal before Atkinson rescued a point for Robbie Neilson's deep into stoppage time.
