Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey was delighted to feature in their Europa Conference League draw against HSK Zrinjski.
It marked a first appearance for the season for Ramsey.
He said: I'm grateful to the boss for putting me in here and hopefully I can get many more starts.
It's been a while. I'm feeling sharper, but there's a long way to go.
Topping the group means we've got less games to play so we can recover."
