Levein said his side were superb at Tynecastle

"Very rarely as a manager do you work on things during the week and they come off at the weekend," said Levein.

"Everything we worked on, worked for us today. It was just one of those days. We had to control the midfield area first and foremost.

"We were excellent in the second half, we kept the ball for long spells and killed Hearts a little bit."
