Toulouse coach Guy Noves says he was pleased by how his team performed in the 22-11 victory over Leicester
The French giants gained revenge following their defeat at Welford Road last weekend by grinding out a win that puts them top of their pool.
But Noves admits the job is not done and Pool 6 is one which is still wide open with two rounds to go.
Noves said: "It's still a very tough pool and very open for the top three.
"I've very pleased with the match we've played. We learnt our lessons from last weekend made sure we played the style of rugby we wanted to.
"We've been lucky with the number of injuries in the tournament but we had to deal with quite a few today. Floran Fritz was a major doubt but played extremely well and that's what we have to do in the rest of the competition.
"The away game against Leinster is critical to our hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals.
"Although we beat Leinster here in Toulouse we are not going to take anything for granted but we will look to go there and win when we travel to Dublin in January."
