Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall praised Jen Beattie’s experience and conviction in helping the Gunners to a comeback draw against Juventus in the Champions League on Thursday night.
Beattie started on the bench for the group stage clash, but the 31-year-old was called up on by Eidevall on the hour mark as Arsenal stared at a 1-0 deficit following Lineth Beerensteyn’s low-driven effort shortly after the interval.
And the veteran defender’s introduction in place of Jordan Nobbs helped to turn the tide of the match, with Beattie’s discernment and composure on full display as Arsenal grabbed an equaliser through Vivianne Miedema ’s header after the hour mark.
