Robbie Brady was pleased to score in Burnley's 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.
The Irishman was happy to prove his fitness with a goal on Tuesday night.
“It's been difficult, so it's a little bit of relief to get off the mark and hopefully I can add a few more before the end of the season," said Brady, who came off the bench as the Clarets trailed the champions 3-0.
“I'm working hard and giving it my all every day in training and like the rest of the lads we're working hard to get a shirt come the weekend.
“We'll stick at it and I'll stick at it myself and, please God, there'll be some more performances and hopefully a couple more goals."
