Jefferies: Emphatic win was deserved
Hearts manager Jim Jefferies felt the comprehensive 4-0 victory over Elgin City was the least his side deserved in the Co-operative Insurance Cup.
The Clydesdale Bank Premier League side eased into the third round with two goals in each half against the Third Division strugglers.
Eggert Jonsson and Kevin Kyle, making his first start for Hearts, netted before the interval with Arvydas Novikovas and substitute Scott Robinson providing gloss to the scoreline.
Jefferies felt his charges could have plundered even more, but the heroics of Steven Dunn in the Moray men's goal kept the tally down.
He said: "It was one of those nights. Justice would have been 5-0 at half-time, but credit to the goalie, he kept it down to two-nothing.
"You are looking for that third goal to kill them off which came. I think then after that we knew the game was won and we were a bit slack, people tired like Kevin. We gave it away too much for my liking but wee Scott came on and got a great little finish. Four-nil was well justified I think."
