Andy Carroll was delighted to make a winning return for West Ham United at Cardiff City.
Carroll had a hand in Mark Noble's game-clinching second goal after coming off the bench in the second-half.
"It felt very good to be back on the pitch," he told whufc.com. "I'm buzzing to be back, it's a great feeling to be back after being out for so long.
"It was disappointing to go down to ten men. Tonks made a decision to clear the ball and caught him [Fraizer Campbell], but the lads held on well and it was great to get another goal as well to make it 2-0.
"After a long time out, this was my first game back so obviously I was a bit rusty, but I was happy to set up the goal at the end and I'll try to forget about the rusty bits!"
