Arsenal defender Timber on comeback game: Nice to end season with minutes

Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber was delighted with his playing comeback in victory over Everton on Sunday.

After suffering an ACL injury on the opening day of the season, Timber made a second-half substitute's appearance for Sunday's finale.

He told the club's website: I felt good after so many months of hard work, but on the other hand, we didn't become champions today and that's sad. It's a hard one to take.

I just wanted to give some energy to the team. It was still 1-1 and there were still enough chances to win the game, so I tried to do that it's just a nice feeling to be back.

That's very important. I think it's a different feeling when you don't play any minutes. After getting injured after the first game, then what happened today, getting minutes even though we didn't become champions, it's just nice for me to go into the summer with some minutes. That's very important for me, it's just my feeling."
