Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says they must build on their victory over Burnley.
Sunderland took a 20th-minute lead when Connor Wickham headed home full-back Anthony Reveillere's cross, and they extended their advantage 11 minutes before half-time when Jermain Defoe opened his account for the club with a close-range finish to secure victory.
However, the Uruguayan has insisted it is only the start of what they need to do if they are to avoid being sucked into another relegation fight.
Poyet said: "We are not okay. We have won a football game, that's it. We have done nothing, so next week has to be as important as today."
Looking ahead to next week's clash at Swansea, he added: "We need to match Swansea's desire and to match the quality of Swansea's passing of the ball and to be higher on the pitch and to do the same. Then the result is a consequence.
"But it depends on what we do."
