Vaughan delight at return
James Vaughan is still coming to terms with his turnaround in fortunes after cartilage damage nearly brought a premature end to his season.[LNB] The 20-year-old underwent surgery on his damaged cartilage in November and shocked many by making an early comeback in time for the FA Cup semi-final penalty shoot-out win over Manchester United.[LNB]Manager David Moyes introduced the youngster for the final 18 minutes of extra-time on Sunday and Vaughan belied his years to confidently slot home his penalty to ensure a final showdown with Chelsea on May 30th.[LNB]The Toffees graduate, who has had horrendous luck with injuries since breaking into the first-team as a raw 16-year-old, hopes to put his problems of the past behind him and stake a case for a starting berth at the end of May.[LNB]"I hope it can be the start for me," he told The Sun. "I've had a terrible time with injuries and this season has been awful. [LNB]Great feeling"There was a suggestion I might not play again this season so to come in and play in the semi-final my first game back is a great feeling.[LNB]"It's even better because I scored one of the penalties. I had never felt anything like this, the fans' emotion was just incredible.[LNB]"Now I want to use this as the start of something and to be involved against Chelsea would be an absolute dream for me."[LNB]Vaughan also revealed that he never had any doubts about taking a penalty in the shoot-out in front of the United end.[LNB]"I fancied a penalty," he continued. "I was more nervous watching the other lads take theirs."[LNB]
