Four-timer
The Surinam-born forward, signed on a free transfer in the close season, struck on 40 and 66 minutes and then pounced twice in the last two minutes to take Hearts into second place in the Scottish Premier League.
Ray of hope
Andy Kirk had opened the scoring on 18 minutes, before Ian Murray gave Hibs brief hope with the goal that made it 2-1 six minutes after half-time.
Celtic lead way
Celtic FC, who beat Aberdeen FC 4-0 on Saturday, are already the only club with a 100 per cent record after two wins from two games. Rangers FC and Kilmarnock FC are level with Hearts on four points, while Hibs are the only club yet to gain a single point.
