Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl admits victory over Watford was critical to their survival hopes.
Hasenhuttl s is not underestimating the significance of Saints' first home win of the season – particularly with another crucial game at St Mary's lying in wait in just four days' time, against Norwich.
“It's important for everybody," he added. “We knew that we had a lot of pressure today and it was a very, very important game ahead of the next weeks.
“Everyone could feel in the first moments that it was really difficult, but in the end the most important thing is the result, and not too much about analysing what was good and what was bad.
“Now we have that first win, which gives us a lift, absolutely. It's important for the next home game, against Norwich, because we are still under the line and we need another win, so we have to take this chance."
