Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare hailed the professionalism of his players who dispatched of Ipswich in such emphatic fashion.
City showed no mercy as they thumped the Tractor Boys 6-0 at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Shakespeare said how everyone in the camp felt that the victory had been overdue.
"We said to the boys afterwards how that had been on the cards," said Shakespeare. "You hope that if you turn in the performances, you will get a result like that.
"During the course of the season, some of the attacking play we have produced has been outstanding. But we missed the chances.
"But once we got the first goal (against Ipswich), it settled us down. To go and score the amount of goals we did showed how professional we were from start to finish.
"It was a very accomplished performance and, at the end, it was a good dressing-room to be in.
"It was completely different to last week (after the 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest) when it felt a bit like a defeat.
"To score six was great, and the defenders and the goalkeeper are delighted to keep a clean sheet. But everyone knows it is just one game.
"It is a very tough league and we know we will probably play better and not get the result we deserve.
"For the confidence, it bodes well, but we have two tough away games now."
David Nugent continued his excellent goalscoring record against Ipswich with the first two goals, but he was then replaced because of a neck injury which had prevented him from training for most of the week.
"He got the all-important first goal with a well-taken penalty and, like all good strikers do, he followed in Martyn Waghorn's strike for the second," said Shakespeare.
"We took him off more as a precaution. He hadn't trained fully all week and declared himself fit, but we didn't want him to make his neck injury any worse.
"When you are in a nice position of being able to bring Jamie Vardy on, it was about giving him the rest.
"He (Nugent) didn't tell us that he hadn't taken a penalty before. But you naturally want to give the penalties to a striker."
