However, he also made it clear how pleasing it was for the Blues to put in a convincing performance too after losing their last 6 league games.
"Everyone's very relieved and delighted with the 3 points and the victory, but on top of it with the performance," he told the City website.
"We wanted 3 points in any way, shape or form but to get them, play well and dominate makes us feel that much better.
"We should have scored more goals because we had control of the game, as a team and a unit we played very well."
