Jarrad Branthwaite made his debut for PSV Eindhoven last night in a dramatic Champions League qualifying win.
The Everton loanee came on as an extra-time substitute as the Dutch outfit beat Monaco 4-3 on aggregate to progress to the next round, where they will take on Rangers. The clash at the Philips Stadion was Branthwaite’s first time in the first-team squad, following a handful of run-outs in the reserve side.
Eindhoven, managed by former Manchester United and Netherlands striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, went into the second-leg level with Monaco at 1-1, but needed an 89th-minute equaliser on the night to level the aggregate score at 3-3. And with the removal of the away goals rule last season, the match went to extra-time.
