Hearts maintained their attacking momentum after the break, with Antwi completing his brace just two minutes into the second half following another well-constructed move.
The experienced forward’s contribution has been significant since joining the squad. He has now scored four of Hearts’ 12 league goals this season, accounting for a third of their total after 10 matches.
The Phobians have also improved their scoring output compared with the corresponding stage last season, when they had managed eight goals after 11 matches.
Coach Nebojsa Kapor appears to be getting an attacking response from his players, with their home form providing a strong platform for their push towards the top of the table.
