Swansea City are finally up and running under Luke Williams.
An impressive performance and a well-taken goal from Liam Cullen inspired the Swans to a 1-0 win at Hull City, their first league success since Williams took charge.
It was a sensational day for the travelling Jack Army, who will no doubt be feeling a little more positive about what the second half of the season may hold.
Here's a look at the key talking points to emerge from the MKM Stadium.

Swansea's confidence defies formbook
Williams has been keen to stress that results haven't affected confidence or morale, which in the context of four straight defeats in all competitions perhaps felt like a bit of a stretch.
But it turns out he was right. This was more than a mere soundbite. Serves us all right for being so cynical.
Swansea certainly didn't cut the figure of a side potentially sweating on getting sucked into a relegation battle as some have suggested. They oozed confidence in possession, were well-drilled at the back, and they pressed and bullied a midfield some would argue is far more talented (on paper at least).
A first clean sheet on the road since October certainly helped too, and after coming up short against Plymouth Argyle in a game where they created a hatful of chances, this is clearly a monkey off the back.
"I was being honest when I said there was a strong positive energy in the changing room going into this game," Williams said.
"Then we played like we believed and hopefully we believe more after getting a good result and a clean sheet. We have to try and harness that now so we can go and compete with even tougher opposition."
So where does this confidence come from? What right does a side five points away from the relegation zone have to be this confident?
"It's something that we as head coaches all have to try and find in our own way," Williams said when asked. "For me it's about repetition. When you repeat over and over again. You get it wrong and try again until you start to get it right. Then you get it right more often than you get it wrong.
"Then suddenly you start to feel like you know the outcome before it happens. That's my idea of building confidence."
Cullen takes his chance
It was a sensational return to the starting line-up for Cullen, whose inclusion perhaps wasn't all that surprising given some of the criticism aimed at Jerry Yates this week.
Yates spurned a couple of really good opportunities last weekend, and an encouraging cameo clearly sparked a clamour for the Wales international to start in east Yorkshire.
He duly delivered, applying a superb finish to turn home Josh Tymon's well-worked corner for what would ultimately be the decisive goal.
A great moment for the Kilgetty Messi, who made the most of this opportunity. It might well have been enough to convince some supporters that he deserves to be first choice up front. Williams, however, isn't so sure.
"I loved his performance," he said. "But I don't just want to talk about Liam Cullen, but Jerry Yates as well. I thought he did a brilliant job for us when he came on. He works so hard.
"So both these guys are brilliant. Liam's come in and has just accepted he needs to do the same level of work Jerry did and to take his chance.
"Now we have a lovely competition between these two really good players. Then there's Myko looking at me saying 'Come on, I'm ready. Put me in there'.
"This is a really good thing I think for us to develop this comfortable rivalry within the team and you have an opportunity to go do your job and score a goal. Then we'll see who plays in the next one."
Williams prediction comes true
Przemyslaw Placheta arguably has a point to prove following his move to the Swans in January.
After seeing his time at Norwich City fizzle out, via a frustrating injury-plagued loan spell at Birmingham City, the move to south Wales has presented the winger with a fresh start, and an opportunity to show he can still perform at this level.
After a solid cameo last week, Placheta made his full debut at the MKM Stadium, producing a really good performance that clearly aided his side's efforts.
Some of the decision-making wasn't always there, but the runs he made were superb, and his confidence on the ball was particularly impressive.
There were also some really good signs of him striking up an understanding with Tymon, a partnership Williams has already expressed some excitement about.
"I think with Josh Tymon and a winger in front of him with pace, then that side of the pitch looks like it can be athletically quite impressive," he gushed shortly after the close of the window.
So far, he looks to be bang on.
The right-back conundrum
Drumming for Spinal Tap is perhaps the only job role more cursed than playing right-back for Swansea right now. With Josh Key and Harrison Ashby already sidelined, the sight of Kyle Naughton limping off will spark grave concern ahead of Tuesday's clash with Leeds United.
Williams was keen to downplay any fears after the game, stressing the 35-year-old was withdrawn as a precaution due to suspected cramp. Even so, one can't help but think about possible alternative options. Harry Darling has occasionally filled in there, and is back on the grass following a knock of his own, although Tuesday may well come too soon.
Bashir Humphreys came on to play there on Saturday, and may well be seen as the most viable option from the off this week should Naughton be ruled.
Then again, with the way things are going, you wouldn't bet against the Chelsea loanee succumbing to some sort of bizarre gardening accident in the next 48 hours.
At least no one's spontaneously combusted yet.
