Gritty win 'could change our season' - Baningime

Beni Baningime admits Hearts were "outplayed" by St Johnstone, but the midfielder believes the gritty 2-1 victory could spark their season to life.

The 26-year-old set up the winning goal for Kenneth Vargas in his first game after returning from injury.

"I'm feeling good and I am glad that I am feeling better," Baningime told BBC Scotland.

"I thought that was a team effort. I don't believe we were at our best but the boys defended brilliantly. I am just happy I got the assist.

"I thought we showed great character. We were not at our best and they outplayed us the majority of the game.

“[The dressing room] It's buzzing and we cant wait for the next game. At times we have played better and lost. We are not playing well but getting the win, this could change our season."
