Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson said he doesn't think anyone could have complained if his side had won by four or five goals following their 2-1 victory over Blackburn.
Lloyd Dyer smashed in City's opener after 16 minutes before David Nugent scored his fourth penalty of the season on the stroke of half-time.
Blackburn pulled a goal back with a penalty of their own in the second half through Jordan Rhodes when Danny Drinkwater brought down Chris Taylor.
Despite a period of late pressure from the visitors, City held on for a victory that takes them top of the Championship on goals scored.
"I think if we'd won the game by four or five I don't think anyone could have complained," said the City boss.
"But I also think it's an illustration of how fine the lines are in this division and football in general.
"It was a tight game in the end, score-line wise,and I've seen games like that end in draws or narrow defeats.
"It's finding a way of getting over the line. Scoring when you're on top is important but I don't think anyone could argue that we weren't worth the three points.
"We were very good again in large spells, created an awful lot of opportunities. It's about winning and we managed to find a way of getting over the line tonight and that's the most important thing."
The City boss admitted he didn't think his side's penalty was the right decision but felt they should have been given another when Vardy was brought down by Taylor.
"I don't think ours was a penalty," he said. "I haven't seen theirs but I think it was probably was a penalty – more so than ours – but I'm amazed Jamie Vardy's wasn't."
