Pienaar delighted with Everton playing return

Steven Pienaar was delighted to feature for Everton in their draw at Swansea City.

His appearance from the bench on 28 minutes was his first in a competitive Everton fixture since mid-December, after spending the last four months recovering from a knee problem.

"To be fair, I was quite nervous," Pienaar told evertontv: "It's been a while so I got a feeling of 'wow, I'm going on the pitch'. I didn't expect it to happen so early in the game.

"Personally I was happy to be on the field after such a long time. Now I'm going to take it day by day and enjoy every moment [for the rest of the season]."
