The Tynecastle outfit got their first win of the campaign against Barry Robson's struggling Dons.
Delighted Stevie Naismith has insisted Hearts have hit the reset and are ready to start pushing in the Premiership.
The Hearts head coach said: “It was a really good afternoon. In one respect we needed the break mentally to reset and take stock, in the European games the performances had been good but the challenge is when you come into domestic games you must win and we never dealt with that well enough. You manage to work on some things on the pitch we felt we had to reset and understand again.
"When we have that energy and press right and play forward we cause teams problems and that showed. The biggest thing was that it was a collective thing, some of the subs who came on have not had loads of minutes but they did really well and impacted the game. In the games I’ve been in charge of, it’s probably the most comfortable I’ve been at the end of a game when it is still alive with it being 2-0.
“We’re going into a period of some tough games. He did well at the start but we had the players there ready.”
