Tavernier has recently returned from injury, making substitute appearances against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, and Southampton while also starting in the FA Cup at Everton.
Tavernier told Sky Sports: “It's been a long time coming.
“I've hit the woodwork a few times, but amazing to get back fit on the pitch. That's the first thing.
“I mean, that's all I want, to be available for each and every week. But to come on today and get a goal is ultimately the best thing for me.”
