Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl was delighted with their 2-0 win at Brighton.
Florin Andone was shown a straight red card on the half-hour mark following a high, rash challenge on Saints defender Yan Valery.
The hosts had looked comfortable up to that point, with Neal Maupay and Martin Montoya going close to breaking the deadlock in the first half.
However, a sumptuous strike from Moussa Djenepo - moments after the Malian had come on as a substitute - and a late Nathan Redmond goal secured the points for Hasenhuttl's side.
It's massively important for everything," Hasenhttl said. After two games without a point you are under pressure, that's normal.
It was a good reaction from my team, to believe in what we are doing and prove we can win games in the Premier League.
We had a good game here last season, winning 1-0, and this game was not easy again today.
We had a well-organised opponent with a lot of self-confidence, so we tried to find a good balance between having ball possession and playing in front.
We can do that much better it's something we must develop, but two fantastic one against one situations, one time Moussa and one time Sofiane, have decided the game.
I'm happy for Moussa and for Nathan to get their first goals. I think it's important for both."
