Keri Halliday's double helped seal a comfortable home win for Hearts against Partick Thistle.

The victory keeps the Edinburgh club in third spot in the SWPL, five points adrift of leaders Rangers while Thistle remain in sixth place with seven points on goal difference.

Carly Girasoli opened the scoring for Hearts before Halliday doubled their advantage.

Erin Rennie had their third inside 20 minutes after some superb play from Jess Husband.

Despite Hearts' early dominance, Thistle pulled a goal back on the half hour mark as Abby Robinson converted her fourth goal of the season with a great strike.

Kayla Jardine's effort from distance gave Hearts a fourth shortly after the restart and then set up Halliday for the fifth.

And the champions weren't finished there. Carly Johns not content with her earlier assist, rounded off the scoring and a comfortable afternoon for her side.
