Hamilton boss Stuart Taylor says his side showed a relentless and ruthless streak as they beat 10-man Queen of the South at New Douglas Park.
Andy Winter's 65th-minute strike gave Accies back to back league wins for the first time in nearly two years, put them up to sixth in the Championship, and moved them 12 points clear of basement side Queen of the South.
Taylor was pleased with the overall performance and says Hamilton showed a professionalism that pleased him.
He said: "From our point of view it was a really professional performance, we had to keep at it, keep moving it from side to side but doing it faster, and things will open up.
"Credit to the lads, I thought they were brilliant.
"Queen of the South worked really hard and defended really well. The important thing was that we were relentless and ruthless and I thought we showed that, with wave after wave of attack, and we showed belief that an opportunity would come up.
"When we get that, we need to be ruthless and take it, we did that. In the second half it was important how we went about our business, and the lads did it perfectly well.
"Where we are, we've always said we look after ourselves, and can we get better every single week.
"That's something we've always done, believing in what we're doing, keeping at it and working hard, and looking after ourselves.
"It was nice to see the results going our way, but it was good for us to go and get another win."
Taylor was pleased that the club managed to exorcise the stat of not having won back to back league games in nearly two years, and says those sort of things are important.
"For the football club it is," said Taylor. "You want to set your stall out to try and win games, compete and do well. If you do the right things, more often than not you get the right results.
"Any records that are out there to go and get rid of, or to go and beat, they'll come along the way."
