Swansea boss Garry Monk hailed his side's march to the 40-point barrier after their gruelling 1-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor.
Kieran Trippier's chaotic 54th-minute own goal proved enough for Monk's men to hit the mark with 11 games to spare -- and now he has his side's previous Premier League best of 47 in his sights.
Monk said: "40 points is the first point of call for any club in this league outside the biggest ones and it was the target for us to reach.
"Forty-seven is the best we have ever got in the Premier League so that is the next aim for us and we want to use our motivation to achieve that.
"It is important for the club that we show progression each year. It is my job to make sure the club continues to achieve that and keeps pushing on."
Monk said he was particularly pleased with the manner of his side's victory, which came in rather different circumstances to the heady scenes of his side's dramatic win over Manchester United last week.
"It was never going to be easy, but we came prepared for this kind of game and the pitch made it difficult for both teams to play good football," he added.
"But I talk about being adaptable and you have to be able to play good football and to do the basics and scrap out a win and I think we were able to show that today."
