Blackburn Rovers interim manager Michael O'Neill says their 1-0 win away to Birmingham City was "massive".
Todd Cantwell's 69th minute winner has taken them six points clear of the relegation places with six matches to play.
"I'm exhausted a little bit to be honest. It was one of those games, especially with seven additional minutes, where we put everything into the game," O'Neill told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"We had said to the players, we had to show that we wanted it more than the opposition, given the league position of the two teams. We had to frustrate them at times, which we did well. We also had to carry a threat as well, and we did that well.
"I thought we had the better chances in the game, our goalkeeper made a couple of big saves when we needed him to, as did theirs.
"But obviously its a real moment of quality from Todd to win the game, and its a massive three points for us."
