Midfielder Lukas Fadinger says Motherwell have "suffered a lot recently" after picking up their first win in almost two months.
With the game goalless Motherwell were awarded a late penalty against St Mirren in Saturday's Premiership clash, which Fadinger duly converted to ultimately secure all three points for Alfred Johansson's side.
It was their first victory since mid-September having gone without a win in their previous seven.
And Fadinger, who returned to the starting line-up for yesterday's game, was delighted with the win.
"It was a big relief for everyone," he told BBC Scotland.
"Such an important goal and I think we deserved it. In the end it's a win, and we're really happy with it. It's been a long time, we've suffered a lot recently but I think you could see in the last couple of games that our performance was improving so everyone was just relieved and proud of ourselves."
The win lifted Motherwell up to ninth in the table, two points behind yesterday's opponents St Mirren.
But Fadinger says Motherwell's sights are set higher than the bottom end of the league.
"We need to get out of the bottom half of the table and take it from game to game," he added.
"We want to win every single game and then we'll see."
