Striker Christian Benteke says Crystal Palace can be proud of their stunning win at Chelsea but still have work to do.
The Eagles have eased their relegation fears by going on a four-game winning run, which was capped by Saturday's 2-1 success at the home of the Premier League leaders.
However, Palace are still just four points above the drop zone, albeit with a game in hand on 18th-place Hull.
Benteke got the winner against Chelsea and says that, while confidence is flowing through the Palace team, they know safety is not assured yet.
The Belgium international told the Palace website after the Chelsea match: "We can be proud of ourselves.
"The work that we did was unbelievable. We had sometimes some luck, but I think we deserved to win this game.
"You can see that the confidence of the team is high at the moment, we try just to put that on the pitch. We work hard for each other.
"It's four wins in a row, so we can be happy, but we have to keep going, because there's still a long way to go."
Benteke scored twice in Russia while on international duty and, confidence boosted, he has now bagged his first Premier League goal since January.
"I think I can't deny it," he said. "As a striker, as soon as you score, you feel more free. You have more confidence in yourself, of what you're doing.
"I'm happy to help my team-mates get three points."
Palace will seek a fifth straight Premier League win at Southampton on Wednesday and Benteke added: "We have to keep going."
