New Southampton boss Tonda Eckert said that he told his team to not "underestimate" their win over Birmingham City on Saturday.
Adam Armstrong scored twice and Finn Azaz netted as the Saints beat the Blues 3-1 at St Mary's to move up to 11th in the Championship table.
Eckert has now won five of his six games in charge since becoming interim first-team head coach, with Saturday's victory his first as permanent boss.
"I said to the boys to not underestimate this win today because it was not an easy one," he told the media after the game.
