Sean Dyche said Burnley reacted positively to questions about their form with victory against Leicester which earned them their first points in five games.
Ashley Westwood's stunning strike in the 79th minute and goalkeeper Nick Pope's penalty save from Jamie Vardy marked a brilliant recovery by the home side who went behind to Harvey Barnes' 33rd-minute goal.
The Clarets boss told BBC Sport: "We're really pleased. It was a deserved win in different ways. We had some question marks around us recently, which is kind of a backhanded compliment. There was a big sign of moving forward with that performance.
"We know what we are about and we reminded the group of that this week. But there was good play today. We asked different questions. The performance was important to me as a manager, not just the win."
Burnley-born Barnes gave the Foxes the lead with a superb individual effort after Jack Cork had been dispossessed just inside his own half.
The home side improved after the break and equalised when Chris Wood poked in his ninth league goal of the season after Ben Mee nodded into his path from a corner.
However, Mee then fouled Barnes in the box to give away a penalty, which was verified by VAR. Vardy, without a goal in his previous three games, saw his firm strike palmed away by Pope.
With their tails up, Burnley surged forward and were rewarded 11 minutes from time when Westwood thundered home a low drive.
The win lifts Burnley to 14th – five points above the relegation zone. Leicester have now lost four times in their last six league games. (BBC)
