Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson was delighted with their 1-0 win at Stoke City.
The Foxes defeated Stoke 1-0 at the Britannia Stadium, with record signing Leonardo Ulloa netting his third of the campaign in the 64th minute.
Pearson felt Esteban Cambiasso was the difference.
"We didn't feel we played with the same sort of control we have in our other games so far this season.
"The changes at half-time certainly allowed us to get a little bit more control. We changed the shape and a couple of personnel, which allowed us to get back into the game.
"His (Cambiasso's) game management is exceptional. He's not had the success he's had over his career without showing qualities, not just with the ball but in terms of his organisational skills.
"He was a very important influence on the game in the second half. But we functioned better as a team as well.
"There were a lot of goalmouth incidents in the game and at times we had to, not ride our luck but defend with a lot of commitment. It wasn't an easy game by any stretch of the imagination.
"I think 45 minutes for him (Cambiasso) was probably about right in terms of an introduction to English football and I'm pleased that he's played his part in what is a very important win for us."
