Dionatan Teixeira was delighted to make his Premier League debut in Stoke City's win over Aston Villa.
Now he can't wait for another crack at the big time before the end of his maiden season at Stoke.
"In the first 45 minutes Phil Bardsley got injured," he recalled to The Sentinel, "and the coach says I need to be ready for the game.
"In the end, the chance came after 85 minutes (and for Erik Pieters). But for me it is very important, because I wait six months for it.
"It is only five minutes, but it is ok because it is an important three points. This is the most important thing."
