Video: Larsson At The Double Breaking Hearts

On this day in 2002 Celtic beat Hearts 2-0 at Paradise. Both goals came from Henrik Larsson as the King broke Hearts with a delightful double.

Larsson scored the first with his head after Alan Thompson’s excellent cross in the 80th minute. The second again came from a cross, this time from Lubomir Moravcik, but was dispatched through a superb volley into the same corner.

Larsson’s late goals ensured that Celtic won seven games in a row with this victory.
