Dhanda was the matchwinner as the jambos came from behind against Duinamo Minsk to claim a first win of the season
Yan Dhanda knew he was going to net a dream first Hearts goal against Dinamo Minsk because of a feeling in his gut. But even he could never have imagined that dramatic 94th-minute Euro winner would have arrived off his NUT.
Now the 25-year-old hopes it signals the start of a winning run for the managerless Tynecastle side with a trip to face high-flying Aberdeen up next on Sunday. He said: “I had a feeling I was going to score. I said to Stephen Kingsley on the bench, I feel like I’m going to score and I’m not really bothered how it comes.
“No one really expects me to score a header but I’ve wanted to score more goals. I just want to keep contributing, assisting and scoring goals. I know when I’m on the pitch I’m capable of doing that. But his gloom will have lifted momentarily at least after watching his nephew end the horror winless run – even if he was barred from watching it in the midfielder’s house back in Edinburgh. Dhanda said: “It would have been nice to have our fans there celebrating when I scored but at the same time I’ve scored my first goal in Europe so I just take the positives and I want to just keep building.
