The opener came as Kelly noticed that Craig Gordon was off his line and managed o lob the Hearts keeper perfectly t give his side an early lead.
His second came as Frankie Kent’s clearance found the feet of Kelly and once again the youngster beat Gordon this time on his right hand side.
Hearts then clicked into gear as Jorge Grant pulled on back for his side from close range.
Not long after, Lawrence SHnkalnd’s cross looked certain to hit the back of the net but Yatao Oda was ready and waiting and ensured his side found the equaliser.
