Burnley shocked Hull City 1-0 to earn their first win of the season at Turf Moor.
Ashley Barnes notched the winner with a 50th-minute header in what was the 11th game of the Clarets' comeback Barclays Premier League campaign.
Manager Sean Dyche's delight at having seen his side secure maximum points at last was clear in his post-match press conference.
But Dyche was also keen to emphasise: "At the end of the day, it is not about one win.
"It's great - I'll enjoy it, don't get me wrong. But there is more than one needed. We know that the journey takes a lot more than one win."
Dyche had no doubt the single win in itself would provide a significant mental boost for the club.
He said: "It is important to get that first win, of course - psychologically for the players, for their belief, and for the town's belief that we can at least compete and give everything in this division to make what everyone is saying is the impossible possible. That is our job."
He added: "The players didn't go overboard about it.
"Our internal view is different to the outside view. We have been frustrated by games and felt we deserved wins already, and haven't got them.
"We have a great honesty here and a great positive reality with the group. They get the situation.
"Someone said to me last week about being 'cock-a-hoop' - the players are not cock-a-hoop. But they are very pleased their work has got them a reward, which is their first win."
