Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup was delighted with the way his side battled for all three points against St Gallen on Thursday night.
The Jacks edged the Swiss side 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium to make it two wins from two in Europa League Group A and Laudrup was happy enough after Wayne Routledge scored early in the second half following a first-half penalty save from Gerhard Tremmel.
"I'm pleased with the win," said Laudrup. "But it was probably not one of our best games.
"In Europe, it's tight. It's always difficult, and I think St Gallen showed today that they have a good squad.
"They confirmed what we have been analysing - that they are a very hard working team; they play 90 minutes with high rhythm and I think they did very well.
"For me, the most positive thing - other than the result - is that I don't remember the last time we won without playing well. Normally, to win, we always have to play well.
"We created the five or six chances that we always do, but without playing well.
"They probably deserved a little more, but 'deserve' and 'justice', in football, doesn't exist."
