Wigan Athletic matchwinner Ben Watson says they were well worth the three points after their 1-0 win over Hull City.
Watson said: "We had so many chances in the first half but we dug in and kept going and we got our reward.
"I should have got one in the first minute I think but it went straight through my legs, and then there was another one in the second half.
"But I think we dominated from the first whistle to the last whistle and we carried on, kept going and got our reward."
Watson said the squad had not let thoughts of Europe distract them from their main aim of staying in the Premier League.
He added on Sky Sports News: "We've not spoken about it, the main thing is staying in this division. We're taking it one game at a time and looking forward to the Everton game now."
