Neville delighted to have Pienaar back

by Setanta Staff , 12 February 2012 Neville delighted to have Pienaar back

Everton captain Phil Neville believes Steven Pienaar is back to his best at a club that loves him.


The South Africa playmaker caught the eye with a goalscoring return to Goodison Park in Saturday's 2-0 Barclays Premier League in over Chelsea.

Pienaar, 29, rejoined the Toffees on loan on last month's transfer deadline day after a frustrating year on the fringes of the Tottenham team.

Neville said: "It was a great performance from Pienaar. He is obviously back doing what he does best at a club he enjoys playing at.

"I don't think he realises how well thought of he is here. When he was at Tottenham I don't think there was a day that went past when we didn't speak about him.

"The combination between him and Leighton Baines on the left-hand side - there is no better combination in English football at the moment."
