Sunderland forward Ola Toivonen has revealed that he was delighted to have taken a point from his side's Premier League clash against Aston Villa.
The Sweden international made his debut for the Black Cats – following his loan move from Rennes – when he came off the bench in the second half at Villa Park, and he made an instant impact setting up Jeremain Lens for the equaliser.
He told the club's official website: "I won the ball in the middle and Jeremain was screaming that he had space, so I put it there and he managed to score. It is always nice to get some minutes especially now I'm at a new club in a new league, so it was a fantastic experience and I'm happy.
"When you come to away games, especially Villa, I think you should be satisfied with a point; it was a tough game but we started quite good and got a goal, but we dropped our game a little bit and they took complete control to make it 2-1.
"We started the second half quite good and managed to get a goal, but then we struggled a little bit again and the players got a bit tired so 2-2 was a good result for us. It was fun and now we continue."
Sunderland are currently bottom of the Premier League after four matches.
