Motherwell boss Graham Alexander hailed his side's performance as 'brilliant' after winning for the first time at Easter Road since 2013.
The Steelmen eased any relegation concerns with a huge three points courtesy of goals from Jordan Roberts and Devante Cole.
Alexander received a red card in stoppage time from referee Alan Muir but the Motherwell boss refused to let that overshadow a famous win.
He said: "The last two games have shown, the spirit, the togetherness and the quality we have within the club.
"It’s all underpinned by their work ethic and togetherness. That was a brilliant performance and brilliant result.
"Everything we worked for this week from last Saturday, the players have done absolutely everything that was required of them as professionals.
“The two goals were brilliant with the interplay and how the front three connected. The whole team was up and we know we have that quality within the ranks."
Hibernian threw bodies forward in the final twenty minutes but Motherwell defended resolutely as they kept their second clean sheet in a row.
Captain Declan Gallagher made his return from injury in another boost for Motherwell and Alexander praised his side's discipline rather than focusing on his late dismissal.
He said: “I thought their discipline was brilliant. You’re always going to get things that go against you in games - decisions and goals.
“I thought our discipline as a group of players and staff was fantastic. It was great to see because you’re going to be challenged every week.
“I thought we stood up to that and deservedly won the game.
"How good were our team today? They were fantastic, as soon as they crossed the white line they gave everything for us.
“To come here and win here 2-0 after the previous two results, prior to St Mirren, was brilliant. Every credit to the players.
