Swansea City interim boss, Alan Sheehan, felt his side were excellent value after asserting their physicality on Blackburn Rovers.
The Swans took the initiative in the game after 15 minutes and did not surrender it. The crowd got behind the players and they began to win every duel, second ball and individual battle.
Sheehan felt that was a crucial factor in earning them the victory, their first at home since December.
"The players have been under a lot of scrutiny. We live in a world where people can say whatever they like about you," he said.

"The only way to respond is on a Saturday. I won't be a referee at this football club, my job is to get the team ready. We spoke about the psychology of the game, this is the Championship.
"You can be wonderful on the ball or score the best set-pieces but you have to find different ways of hurting teams. They are a top-six team and we thought with this game plan we could get a result.
"I was up at 4am looking at different things that could change in the game and tweaks that could be made. Different scenarios and little details.
"We showed a lot of physicality and showed what it means. The group responded really well. 3-0 seconds in, you could see everyone was up for it. They deserved their praise for the win and the performance."
