Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is determined to keep his troops grounded despite their 2-1 victory over Tottenham.
Harry Kane gave Spurs the lead at St Mary's but Saints managed to grab a valuable victory thanks to late goals from Yan Valery and James Ward-Prowse.
Having gone two points clear of the relegation zone, Hasenhuttl claims there is still a long way to go in their bid to avoid the drop.
"The good thing was we were only one goal down, that gave us the chance to change a few things and to force a little nervousness and put them out of their comfort zone because Tottenham were amazing (in the first half)," said the Austrian.
"We lost against Man United after a really sensational game we played there. And we only earned warm words and I said to them we want to earn more than only warm words, we want to earn points.
"That's what the crowd felt in the second half, that there's a team on the pitch fighting for every point and that was a moment to celebrate with them but also to tell them that it's only one step, a big one maybe.
"But, as you see with the other results, we have still wins to take and a long way to go."
Southampton are next in action on 30th March when they make the trip along the south coast to face Brighton.
Saints are 12/1 to be relegated this season.
