Former Spurs midfielder Eriksen set up a goal in a 3-2 victory for the Bees against a Southend United XI.
Today he posted on Instagram with a thumbs-up photo to confirm his comeback had all gone to plan.
He said: “I had a lovely day yesterday.
"It was my birthday and being back on the pitch!
"Thanks for all the messages."
