Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl hailed his best ever home win with the club.
The Saints managed a remarkable 1-0 win over Manchester City thanks to Che Adams' first league goal of the season.
Southampton had to do a lot of defending, but were resolute and took their one big chance when it arrived.
"You have to be brave and have a bit of luck," the Austrian manager told reporters afterwards.
"We showed a lot of passion and we got what we deserved.
"The goal means a lot to Che and also to us. He has really deserved this goal and he worked hard throughout.
"Sometimes, it's not possible to get something and I don't just want to talk about one player as there were a lot of good performances.
"You could always feel the belief and the game plan of allowing them possession and breaking on the counter-attack worked well.
"Every win is important - we were last in the home rankings and this was by far the best performance we've had here since I was a manager and it had to be in order for us to win."
