Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with the manner of their win over Southampton.
Christian Eriksen's 20-yard strike secured the 1-0 victory, which not only ended Spurs' four-match wait for a league win but showed the players are adapting to the head coach's high-pressing, attacking style.
"I am very happy and I congratulate the players who made a good job," Pochettino said. "We are still improving. Three months in charge with a new philosophy.
"I am very happy today to get the three points and happy with the performance and happy with the way that the team played. This is what we want. I think the team deserved to win.
"There was no extra pressure. It was an emotional game for me. I love Southampton, I love the people in Southampton.
"It was a great 18 months for me in my life and my family and was a very tough decision. I am happy for the performance of the team but it was emotional for me."
