Dream City return for Shaun

01 Sep 2008 - 08:15:06

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes was full of praise for Shaun Wright-Phillips, after the winger marked his second debut for the club with two goals in the 3-0 win at Sunderland.

The 26-year-old England international netted twice in the second half at the Stadium of Light, having only returned to City from Chelsea a matter of days earlier.

Hughes said after the victory: "I thought he was excellent, not only the goals, but his general play. Every time he was in possession, it looked like something was going to happen.

"He is going to bring a new element to our game and a new threat to opposition teams, because he has proved once again that he is an exceptionally gifted football player.

"He is a better player now in his second spell at Manchester City than he was when he left, so we are going to reap the benefits of that. He is only going to get better.

"I wanted to get him straight back in if at all possible and with the absence of Martin Petrov, my hand was forced in some respects.

"But it was always my intention to give him a big part of the game. I was obviously conscious of the fact that he hadn't had a great deal of football and I thought maybe he would tire at the end."
