Daniel Stendel says it's "happy hour" for Hearts after a crucial Edinburgh derby victory in Leith.
Goals from Sean Clare, Oliver Bozanic and Conor Washington were enough to ensure the Jambos left Easter Road with three points, and climbed off the bottom of the table.
A late Melker Hallberg consolation for Hibs didn't dampen Stendel's spirit too much, as the Hearts boss heaped praise on his players.
He said:"I enjoyed that. It's my first derby victory and I think the result is great.
"To score three goals was great. It's a brilliant win.
"The fight they showed was really, really good. The important thing is that we win. But we fought so much for a clean sheet so I'm a little bit unhappy for my players that we conceded such a late goal.
"We deserved to win. They deserve some happy hours after a long run of not such easy games.
"It's only one step, one game in the league. We have 10 games left and we need to keep doing it every week.
"It's good for our confidence that we can win two in a row. I hope we can do it three times in a row.
"It was great to see the players being applauded by the fans. After the Boxing Day defeat, I thought it was hard for the players to see the opposition celebrating in our castle. Now we've done it here."
