Hearts manager Daniel Stendel is happy to see his side pick up their first victory in 10 games - and the first of his tenure - but says today's superb performance was no more than what he expects.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, he said: "It was what we expected of our performance. It was good and we had even more chances.

"For us it was important to get that experience after a period of time without winning a game. It will give us a lift for the next game against Ross County."
