Kevin De Bruyne declared it was good to be back after his goalscoring return for Manchester City.
The midfielder struck the opener in Tuesday's Carabao Cup quarter-final win at Leicester on his first start for seven weeks.
Holders City eventually squeezed through 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
De Bruyne has seen his season interrupted by two knee injuries but netted his first goal of the season at the King Power Stadium.
'I've been out so long, so to play 70 minutes is a really good sign for me personally,' he told the club's official website.
