Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has admitted that he was a relieved man following his side's victory at Hull City.
The 1-0 success at the KC Stadium was Leicester's first in the Premier League since September.
Pearson says that he was pleased with the way that his players scrapped to secure the win.
"All of my team were fighting today, all of them, even the ones who didn't get on," Pearson told Sky Sports News.
"We had a bit of luck as well because if I were in Hull's shoes I'd be thinking 'what do we have to do to score?'
"But we've had plenty of days like that over the last two or three months and I think the overriding feeling now is relief but we've now got to back it up because it can't be a case of us finding this elusive win and then relaxing."
Leicester remain bottom of the Premier League table, but are now three points from safety.
