The Frenchman scored two goals in just 82 seconds and sent the Hibs fans into complete delirium at Tynecastle.
The Hibees pushed for a winner but couldn’t find a third way past the Hearts ‘keeper, meaning they had to settle for a point in our final game before the October international break.
When speaking after full-time, Elie gave a very honest reflection on his own performance.
“It was a tough game. It’s always like this in Derby games; they’re hard to play. At least we made a draw, but I think we should have done better in the first half. I wasn’t good in the first half, I was sloppy, and I think I had to react to that. The most important thing is the point.”
Youan looked like a completely different player in the second half and admitted that was due to the Head Coach’s team talk.
“He (Nick Montgomery) was very angry with me at half-time. He talked to me straight. He told me I had 10 minutes, otherwise I’d get brought off.
“I was very focused on the game and more concentrated in the second half, and I think that helped.
“I’m happy for the team, my goals collected the big work of the team. I wanted to win today, so I’m frustrated because I wasn’t as good as I am usually. I will keep working, but the most important thing is the point today.”
